Cat Got Up

Cat got up and walked the long, brick wall.
Its shadow walked the pavement,
four foot tall.
It sat
and purred
and heard
the shadows fall. Then,
Cat got up and walked the long, brick wall.

Cat got up and shook its dusty mane.
Its shadow shook the dust
upon the plain.
It watchced
the sun
go down
and rise again. Then,
Cat got up and shook its dusty mane.

Cat got up and walked the short cage floor.
Its shadow lost the stripes
its body wore.
It saw
the sun
come up
and touch the door. Then,
Cat got up and walked the short cage floor.
