She is a high-minded cat

politicstimeidentitymortality

She is a high-minded cat

Licks the cream

With the tip of her tongue

Peeping from her mouth

In repose

A knowing smile

Fixed in place

On a haughty face

Her eyes all a flutter

With inside knowledge

Always greater

Than the old moggie

Half asleep on the sofa

She believes

She has the power

To run him to ground

Whenever she is ready

He is doleful

Lugubrious, boringly

Steady

She is soulful

Elegant outrageously leggy

And will walk rings

Around him

As easy as winking

She can do it for fun

Without even blinking
