Everyday Canvas

Cat on the Floor

from most *residences on our street
dogs rule with a *snarl and they *lecture
my black *cat, while she meows and *purrs
in the house, not getting the picture

as barks cascade in a bogus *show
she stretches out like a movie star
on her own *gold spot, the sunlight's *stain
on the floor, and dogs now sound too far
