about cats

about two weeks ago
I went to the zoo
and seeing the strangest animals (in the bad way)
like giraffes,
and seeing the strangest animals (in a good way)
like a meerkat

I was too impressed
with nature

but when I saw the Lions
the Panthers and the Jaguar

doing the time waiting for them
being gorgeous and present

and specifically Jaguar, who dug a hole
lay down with the belly up and
started playing with paws up

like my cat
or any cat

that make me realize why I like so much about cats
has something in their souls, an amount of
independence and rebellion
that we only see in animals like Lions, Panthers and Jaguars
but in the body of a little kitten
full of arrogance
and pride

it’s wonderful
mother nature is
wonderful
