A cat can wait for a thousand years
A dog can’t wait for its dinner
A cat is always doing something, by not doing anything at all
A dog looks for people to love it,
if not people, other dogs
if not other dogs, cats.
Cats need no love
the world belongs to them
they own neighborhoods
they own owners
they are never owned
only temporarily waiting…
for the next ten or twenty years
among several lifetimes.
Waiting, is a forgotten art.
Most, cannot wait
they forget, what they are waiting for.
There is nothing more terrifying
than something that waits.
A cat will spend days
looking into a hole
the mole
doesn’t have a chance.
Patient eyes
are never dull
waiting
to trap and play
with prey
waiting
to flame with fire
waiting
to kill
waiting, when nothing else in the world, will
Most, can’t stay alive
Cats live forever.

I love their arrogance…all kings of the jungle.

A dog raises you to the ranks of God, while the cat humbles you back to your irrelevance.
