My cat’s tail has a life of its own
Regal and austere
She surveys the room
Her domain that she
Rules with iron authority
But her tail flitters about
Unaffected
Severe countenance
Notwithstanding
A nonchalant
Dancing yo-yo
Jumping with
Marionette precision
I imagine a little
Faerie dancing
A ballet on it’s end
Keeping her balance
In spite of frenetic
Unpredictability
I secretly applaud
The faerie, as she
Anticipates every
Movement with
Unparalleled grace
My cat is unimpressed
