yellow orange
across the room
atop a cabinet
right in front grey black
stripes and spots
sniffing hair, pen and paper
purring, rubbing
The pounce!
orang yellow fly from cabinet to bed
swatting, rolling, biting
tails twitching, ears back
mouths open
no claws, only paws
running, romping
Stop.
yellow orange
sitting on an arm
black grey
slinking, sniffing, stalking
swatting again,
punching, biting, bucking
papers fly on the floor
in front, behind the door
swatting throught the crack
down the hall
running, romping
yellow orange streak to the living room
grey black stalking behind
slinking along
silly cats, be nice
