The Remarkable Cat
by Clover Kreger
Oh, to be a cat!
To be able to take pleasure as easily as that!
Purring rapturous at a stroke, a lick
the gentle finger’s simple flick
ennui drowned, ire put to flight
Rubbing head and shoulders with delight
on unyielding objects or the nearest limbs
softly trembling with ecstatic hymns
I’d love to be a cat:
to be able to take my pleasure as easily as that.
