Mind and Body (for W.H.)

...run on different time-tables

Like cats and humans...

Different time-tables

Sat on your chest
At rest

Washing wet fur
Weight on one paw -
Of four

Pressing on your
Breast bone
Brittle

Dream
A dirty-toilet dash
Piddle


A poetry
Reading rash
Drivel

Busting for your turn - waking

To a cat using your dreams like a wash board

Bone-aching breast
Bubble-bursting bladder
Dirty laundry fest

And a clean toilet waiting

While she washes...
