Strange Cat Looking At Me

Strange Cat Watching Me A cat sits on the edge of a bed Watching me watching him Both of us thinking What sort of strange creature this is That has invaded our personal space Upending our daily routines The cat came up to me Staring at me with his soulful eyes Boring into my very soul Looking for answers To these dark fundamental questions The cat smiles a mysterious smile And purrs in contentment Having found an answer of sorts And indicates that we can be friends As long as I know That he is the boss of me And I pet him Acknowledging the time honored Ritual of human cat interaction That dates back to the dawn of time When humans and cats First became aware Of the other Strange creature that shared our planet
