A Cat
Friday, March 11, 2011 at 09:33AM I saw a cat
sitting in the window
in a house I don't know
sapphire eyes
whiskers dark
body buff
tail twitching
nose against the glass
it was the twittering birds he heard
not me
as I walked past.

I will suspend the rules in order to explore
I will explore in order to play
I will play in order to create pieces that express myself
to venture beyond what I have been taught
to open doors I did not know were there
to immerse myself in color and form
to cross over, to prod, to swerve, to jump
where white is not white
where black is not black
where even gray is purple
