It is just as you
have always
suspected:
Cats compose poems
in their heads
most all the time,
poems so beautiful
we could not
hear them
and survive.
But they are wise enough
in their indifferent love
never to share them
with those who
provide food
while dogs
poor things
think of nothing
but baseball
and magic
and don’t give a damn
who knows.
Jeff Weddle loves cats but is more or less happy they do not recite their poetry to him. He teaches at the University of Alabama.
