Cat!

In seeking out some playful moment,
she spies
a wineglass!
Soft paws velveting along the tiles
tail twitching
whiskers whisking.
A silent bunch and
release of fur
up
to the ledge
to greet the glass
like one of the pride
returning from a sortie.
Breathing catches from all quarters
as spectators watch it tilt
and regain its brittle balance.
The cat turns,
glancing greenly at us,
then with a negligent flick of her tail,
sends the glass to its end
with a smash and a leaping
streaking exit.
"Cat!"
Red wine and silvery shards
hold less entertainment than
our indignance does.
As mop and newspaper
enter the scene,
she strolls in,
lingers at the doorway
surveying the wreckage
with her usual indifference.
