Cats

Shadowbox15

Alley Cats prowl

the merciless city

searching for ways

to survive

 

House Cats nap

on velvet  cushions

waiting on staff

to feed them

 

Alley Cats hunt

in every shadow

catching prey 

to feed their families

 

House Cats play

with fake mouse tails

gleefully enjoying

the sport

 

Alley Cats leap

from rooftop to rooftop

tasting freedom 

that they can’t enjoy

 

Are they so different from us?
