John Lawless Poet Free verse

CURIOSITY

Curiosity
The bane of the cat
Claws
At the edges of a fact
Mindfully
Follows a light on the wall
Purrs
In a rumbling need
Silently stalks
Insane inanity
Will the train emerge
                     From the tunnel
                                            ……..Again
