Out Of This World Breakfast Plot

a cat opens into light

like the day pawing

at the window.

takes around the house

a furtive look, a visual

see-sawing.

then from the kitchen

where no one cooks

while no one’s watching,

aims her clawing

at the luscious planet Venus

to begin a quick

and vicious nibbling

of earth’s bodacious neighbor.

or so I think she’s thinking.
