cat fancy

The outside cat 
has been playing tiger. 
Crouch and stalk and pounce 
the yard for half an hour,
convincingly. So far 

no prey has got away 

that I could see. Before 
the pounce, or afterwards:
invisible.

We'll trust 
in kitty's senses, then.
In jungles, he's invincible.
We'd both be so let down 
to think it's all pretend.
