Preying in the City

Bodega cat crept to the curb

And crouched down by a car,

His ins and outs encouraged

By a door that’s left ajar.


He stared intently underneath

The chassis, but to me,

There was no mouse or bird

Or other creature I could see.


I thought I’d stick around to watch,

In case he found some prey,

But realized if I saw him pounce,

It might just spoil my day.


So I continued on and left him

To complete his stalk,

While I did what I always do

And finished up my walk.
