*with nod, after a fashion, to Mary Oliver (it is always a good morning to read “Invitation”).

He is entirely and seriously himself
    a black and white cowcat of limited grace
    one weepy eye, a polka dot heel, he is
    A Fluffy and Delightful
        nuisance seeking a missile, a cat that is

such a puppy, at home in fetch and following.

He wanders the house again & again
    seeking
        Knowledge &
        Chaos &
his very best friends

His Favorite redbird toy chirps merrily from his maw all along his loop
he is singing
    “awooo  awooo, 
            
won’t someone be alive with me on this fresh morning?”
