The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for June 1996


i'm cooking my breakfast
listening to the radio
[watching the yard through
the kitchen window]

and i wander to the
sunporch to see if the
cats are in the
door

taking the air

and the other cat
passes me on its way
through the dining
room

and so, i consider, what
motivates a cat to
get up from a sunny
doorway?

i go back to
my omelet, the one
cat on the
porch turning back
to stare into
the yard, the other by the
kitchen heads for the stairs
to the bedroom, where
Dorothy is sleeping
