A Consideration of Cats in the Cosmic Weave
Cats have
a certain unity
of thought and action
in the moment
every moment
different from
moments humans know
so
their actions can look quite
autistic
to people
not in their loop
who can’t see
outer space in a dust mote.
People can’t squint
along the plane of the possible
perpendicular
to time and
yesterday’s coffee
parallel to a
slanting shaft of sunlight warming the rug
just that patch
right there
3:27 sharp
eastern standard cat time
western sunset ocean time.
That sunset was last Tuesday
but no matter
no matter
we sleep
drowsy
purr contented
warm rug right here right now
forever.
Forever
‘til salmon.
