Maybe at Mizpah
In other
Words
Why don’t we favorably dine over unity
Uniqueness
Feast
The sameness and the differences
If
For interest
Curiosity alone
While we are together
And with
A Mizpah kind of pledge
On parting
If we
Could
To regard each other well
And
Not steal
Or
Swindle
Or politick against each other while apart
Join
Know
Negotiate
Celebrate
Who we
Are
Who we’re
Not
With each other
Risky
Business
Maybe
But the only business really
Whose profit comes in lives and which might
Have
God approving
Waiting

I Met a Cat the Other Day
(thank you, Almond Joy)
x
A beauty
Asian of some kind
Rescued by my neighbor
So smart of her
To do
x
Named for a candy bar
(the cat)
And rather peaceful
In her arms
(the neighbor’s)
And I realized this morning
That
Everything’s a little better
Cats as ambassadors
And anodynes
x
Maybe we should keep them near
(my allergies
and yours
notwithstanding)
Near the table
Cushiony or something
Eyeing patience
In proceedings
And then our celebration
Meals
x
Never mind
Inscrutability
It’s a quiet asset
And a signal
Should it snarl
Not to upset
Our table
Or proceedings
