Scratching the Cat


She looks away, thinks
I want to go there
takes a few steps, looks back
I want to go there

Sees you at the desk
I want to go there
sees a bird out the window
I want to eat that
you poke her back leg
and she turns back

Asleep on the couch
there is no bird, no desk, no scratch
her leg twitches
is sh in mid-bird-leap?
