I have a cat <br />who lounges languidly, <br />who paws the air <br />and stares at me. <br /> <br />I stroke his fur <br />whenever he tells me to <br />and, of course, <br />I buy the cat food. <br /> <br />Some days he darts away <br />when he sees me <br />other days <br />he is in my lap <br />insistently. <br /> <br />I have a cat <br />or does he have me? <br /> <br />I can't risk <br />separation <br />to find out <br />which <br />is <br />which.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/separate-cat/
