Maybe it's me
and my slothful ways
but something
and I mean something
has riled them
as they vault
somersault
and skitter in and out
of my bedroom
my cats
I feel their frustration
at my failure to launch
into this hot hazy Saturday
all my Friday weekend plans
rapidly evaporating
as if
on the freshly tarred sidewalk
outside my window
