Chasing Shadows

A fish called Earle
actually he’s a cat with the coloring
& disposition
of a seagull
swirling around the sky
of the kitchen floor

so Lefty (the other cat)
slaps him upside the head

This is a simple algorithm
played out when parallel
universes intersect

The dog sleeps through it

I open another beer

two & a half sets of eyes
watching me watching them
