It's Still Life

The Cat’s Nocturnal Symphony (in 2 Acts of Chaos)

ACT I: PHILOSOPHY AT 2 A.M.
The cat stares into the dark garden,
one paw pressed to the windowpane:
“If a leaf falls in the night,
and no one is around to blame me for it…
did it truly fall?”

ACT II: The Reply at 2:10 A.M.
(The Old Woman shouts: “YES.”)
