Watching Cats

Behind green eyes a retinal flash

subdues a gentle sense of knowing

with a half worn smile

she calculates line and speed

though unimpressed with detail

she's alert to every possibility

and snatches a glance there

her widening gaze settled

followed by a measured blink

of pure satisfaction

a buzz of a wasp

and a flick of an ear

all is well with her world.
