Stripe
"Stripe"
For no particular reason
The clouds cleared
And the sun shone bright and
the month of old snow
melted enough to reveal half
of the mud beneath.
For no particular reason
a neighborhood cat took a stroll
across the dirty brown ridges of ice on the tree lawns,
across the finally dry street, up the drive.
Without a care in its head.
The Feline lept up onto the just washed car
and bathed on the roof, in the sun,
just to drive the dogs in the house
insane.
For no particular reason
The sparkling clean car stood like a
Palimino in the sun, oozing a
Stripe of muddy paw prints
Centered from bumper to bumper,
Readiness for the next war
Of road salt, and snow and grey traffic
For no particular reason at all.
