Cracked

If all of the murderers were locked up
we would be safer.
We all can agree on that.
No, war is not murder.
Except when they are murderers.

If the immigrants were sent back,
we would be safer.
Only people who have been here for forty generations
should be allowed.

If we all followed the book
the right way
there would be no more pandemics.
God would smile upon us.
Which book? The right one, of course!
The right way!
Out of 45,000 different versions
of the right way.

Don’t step on a crack
Or you’ll break your mother’s back

Codified and punishable
But some punish the mother
Others will punish you

They are murderers
and wrong.

Sol Duc loves the neighbor’s back steps. I have permission to walk her in their yard. Walking cats is quite different from walking a dog. It’s more following the cat around. Elwha is quite scared of being outside in the day, partly because we live on a busy street and there are all those NOISES. Sol Duc is braver, but tends to stay away from the roads in the daytime. Cats like edges and shadow, except when sunning.

When I walk them in the early dark, they are both much braver. Sol Duc has gone around the whole block. She is annoyed when I won’t let her go under a house or way into a yard where I do not have permission. And she has seen birds and deer and another cat and dogs and other humans! Whew!
