Cats Dream Dog Reality December 17, 2o15

Here's the thing. I'm not a fan of the cat. But I do like writing about them. Dogs? Oh, hell I'm pretty much a dog man. I like their simplicity. Crows, on the other hand, are much like cats. I never know exactly where they're coming from. I do, however, feel sorry for crows. One day I watched three sparrows bit the crap out of a big ass crow, in flight! That's gotta be traumatic. Getting your ass kicked by a handful of sparrows? How would you feel about that? {smiles}

Cats Dream Dog Reality

I do not understand the early morning breeze

how it slips itself into the old elm trees,
disturbing the winter branches
with its cold hands and eyeless glances,
that makes the dog that lives next door
howl and howl until the cat (who sleeps beneath
the wooden ramp outside my door) jumps
and runs about the lawn
never knowing if she's in a kitty dream
or alive in this reality, this dog cruel reality
that makes all cats afraid of everything
including their own shadow.

But it could be worse, oh, my, much worse.

To have the feathered curse of crows
who never know what they’re lives are for?
They spend their nights and days
confused and wondering away

“Why are we so different from the sparrow?”
