The Cat Hater
a tall glass
of chilled lemonade
in his hand,
he sits
in a rattan lounging chair
at the veranda
that looks out
to a tropical beach
in his summer home;
something furry
on the floor moves between
his sandy feet;
looking down,
he sees a kitten curled cozily
in a nap there;
other times
he would have kicked
the animal away,
but not now,
he can be truly tolerant
on a very lovely day.
