“He also saw the cook’s cat which could do somersaults.”
At least that’s what the cook said,
a claim the cat, shapeless sack
of snide, deigned neither to confirm
nor deny, content to ****
long afternoons in desultory
elongation, stationed
on the window sill above
the blackened eight burner Garland.
Once, when the cook stepped outside
to smoke, the cat, mood sour,
expansive, airily confided
the corpulent cook could climb
stairs on his hands while whistling
“Parlez-Moi d’Amour”
then spat in the soup, dispelling
any lingering incredulity,
his stomach duly nailing
a flawless double backflip.
