		   (Through Cats' Eyes)

		    Cats' eyes look out 
		    From my bedroom wall.
		    These pensive pusses 
		    Ponder their state, 
		    As I ponder them.

		    Garfield covets snooze buttons. 
		    Decidedly a dawn-dreader,
 		    He wanders worlds of R.E.M.
		    If dreams are mind-stories,
		    What stories do cats know?
		
		    Kitten sits in a shot glass.
		    Does he remember Egypt?
		    Did his immortal ancestors 
		    See the set of Cleopatra. 
		    Did Kitten's kin spill Liz's drink?

		    When I'm not listening,
		    Does the tiger treading flowers
		    Tell tales he learned in India
		    To the two blue Siamese, 
		    Coaxing them from their funk?
		
		    The answers must lie
		    In my own dream yarns
		    For the inscrutable cats
		    Hanging on my wall 
		    Will never tell me.
