CAT PHILES

Pawprints

Cat Against The Internet

This house feels lonely,
you engage
in electronic chatter.

I leap upon Computer desk
top shelf,
legs astride the printer.

My food tray’s empty,
it is late,
cold too, nearing winter.

Cedar blinds gape open;
the moon
glows, small stars glitter.

Colours dance upon the screen,
I stand
quietly on the scanner,

then bound onto your shoulder top.
Your fixed
eyes do not waver.

I dig in desperate claws.
You shriek!
I meow: where is my supper!
