I am a cat
speaking dog and I must learn
to wag my tail and put back my ears
signifying pleasure
not danger
to admire your fine appendages, marvel
as you strut circles around me and raise your leg
at every tree
and not recoil
when you sniff under each tail, but find out
what all the fuss is about
to bark up trees I could easily have climbed
remind myself that my yawns mean excitement
and put away my claws
to try to chase cars – because
that is what you do.
