CATS
Cats, no less liquid than their shadows. Offer no angles to the wind. They slip, diminished, neat, through loopholes • Less than themselves; will not ho . pinned. To rules or routes for journeys; counter Attack with non-resistance; twist Enticing through the curving fingers And leave an angered* empty fist. They wait, obsequious as darkness— Quick to retire, quick to return; Admit no aim or ethics; flatter With reservations; will not learn. To answer to their. names; are seldom Truly owned till shot and skinned. Cats, no less liquid than their shadows, Offer no angles to the wind. —A. S. J. TESSIMOND.
