A smile cracks night chapped lips
hearing the cats in pursuit of each other.
Under the bed, across the couch,
to the sink and weight room they zip.
Cat claws fumble for traction
on vinyl, on rug,
blown through speed traps,
on one another"'s coats! Tumble weeds of fur
in their wakes along the course.
Not a creature stirring
save for
them hooligans.
