PAD 5 9


If I were my Cat

I’d be photogenic.
I’d cozy up in crocheted afghans,
wiggle my whiskers,
lick my lips and dream of tuna.
When I got an energy spurt
I’d race up and down the hall
like a crazy person
and climb the walls.
I’d chirp at light
dancing on the ceiling
or sit in a sunny window.
I’d insist on lying on the laptop
and let my human watch the screen
between my ears.
She’d stroke my fur
and treat me like a queen.
I’d do whatever I want,
and take the world on my own terms.
I’d choose my friends
and turn my nose up at everyone else.

If I were my cat, I’d have it made.
