Natural Valentine

A strange black
and white cat
cradles at my foot
but won’t be touched
gets up and sidles
over to my other foot
but snarls when I
bow to pet it
meanwhile a fat
grackle is making
all kinds of racket
I don’t know why
pecking at the grass
a few feet away
which the cat
completely ignores
stretching its long
back and curling up
under my seat
as if we were best
friends and had
forever been
