A large Russian Blue
stares down from the shelf
while
his humans make love
the man is distracted
by that wise feline stare
he says to his woman
get that cat out of here
the woman replies
he's just a cat
he doesn't know
what’s we’re doing
he's fixed!
reluctantly
she carries
the feline voyeur
to the other room
shuts the door
but it’s not the same
without him there with
those big green eyes
watching
the humans proceed to
go forth and multiply
while kitty dreams of
voluptuous furry females
in heat
Life sucks, doesn't it?
Many years later
kids grown, Russian Blue
long gone to that
great litter box in the sky
the tabby sprawls on the bed
gazing at the man and woman
about to repeat history
same act different year
the man says,
he’s staring at us
remove him!
the woman says
what does a cat know
about carnal pleasure
his presence is OK by me
why does he bother you?
the man says
he knows more than you think
it’s his eyes
so the woman carries the
kitty to the
other room
remembers the Russian Blue
who looked down from the shelf
and she sees history
repeating itself.

The Earth; or man's image of it
Perfection, reduced to downtown,

“All the lessons of the ages reside within your head.

the profits tell you,
and me, and everyone we
