The cat, under some primeval spell,
nose twitching at a hidden smell,
prefers to lay in close proximity
without any sign of aninimity
to one of us -- and the lamp of course,
still believing light is the source
of a comforting heat and not just
the lamp gathering its endless dust--
rather than stay far away alone
curled on the bed near the phone
or alert and waiting for prey
in a house sealed up most of the day.
