I watched my cat
twitching whilst asleep
his little muscles full of spasms
and electric pulses
that surged violently back and forth
through little kitty synapses
and wondered what exactly went through his little
sleep soggied mind to trigger
such blissful action.

He quickly returned
to his happily snoring self
the moment of truth dead and gone
like the mouse he must have been chasing
so blindly yet so blithely.
