prowess

in my swiftness, i slip thru the twist of an open shade. my feet cling to the sill, as my hands reach in the dark for a place to land. still a half body away, my heart beats with the force of a door that slams in the distance. and in one fluid push and release, i am free. the cars roll past. i see their headlights fuz in the mist. the tingle of night spreads across my face, and a long awaited realization bursts open before me. the world is mine. and i have come with every ounce of readiness i was born with. i bare down in the thick of this freedom. the grass is moist and cold. my hair stands tall- does its good work in the elements. knows the life of a feline to be a life of survival. a life of boldness. of prowess, skill, expertise, efficiency, know-how, craft, finesse, ingeniousness, resourcefulness, brilliance, radiance, intelligen-- whao, oh shit! hey! fuck.......
"good kitty, don't worry, mamma gotcha..."
