timothy's lament
the birds go
tweetle twit!
timmy goes
kit-kit-kit!
staring through the thick glass
of the back door
the mighty would-be huntress
little timmy-cat
wishing she could be outside-
indoor cat, not allowed to go out
yet she always yearns
to pat her feet on the damp tree-lined
earth-
when she is allowed out
though
she freezes
too unfamiliar! too scary!
and scampers back in
afraid of the unknown
when directly faced with it
yet still longs for the alure
of new places
