Balanced is the feline on fence posts in alleyways

She sits
Spanning the gap between two yards
Scanning the gap between hounds and house cats
Cruising the borderline between destruction and continuity

Would anyone tell Cat nine lives are eight lies?
No
For there is much to behold when stakes are high
Reward comes not to those who ponder
Death comes oft to kitties who wonder

The cat with nine lives spends them living
The cat with nine, lives
After all, nine is greater than one

The cat with one life spends it forgiven
The cat with one, is
After all, one is all you need
