The Hungry Cat
1.
The Watcher
When thinking comes, a frequent visit
A frantic pace, (where am ‘I’ in it)
Am I The Watcher or The Watched?
The Talker, or The Listener.
‘Who is There?’, (Is it me),
Or is it someone, one should lee
How often down this street I’ve marched:
The Whistled, or The Whistler.
Arms outstretched, palms held high
In short length I come to realize why
When thinking came, a frequent guest,
I couldn’t get a moment’s rest.
2.
The Talker
When Talker talks, The Listener listens
A brisk thought walk, where’s ‘I’ in this?
Chasing sticks thrown by Mind
Dogcatcher 9r The Catched?
‘Who goes There?’, (Is it I),
Any hope to know this rhyme?
Un-hoed remains this hill of mine
All caught up, yet uncatched.
I plant my feet in hallowed ground
Of voices, the familiar sound
Discussions that will Sseal the space
Of being grounded in this place.

The Hungry Cat
While hungry cat sits eyeing Mouse
‘Other’ and ‘I’ slog through The House
Strong Father ‘I’ cries Mother ‘Other’,
Turn in pursuit, chase one another.
Problem ‘Is’, could not exist
Without a complex birth like this
Masked and drunk force of despair,
Observant Self sucks out all air.
Hypno-backgrounded Absent Wealth
Less grain of sand, (Observant Self)
Sees all; reports, a complex hand,
Sure none is missed by High Command.
