Memo From The Cat

He favors
polite insistent taps on the shoulder
like a gruff and rumpled old boss
reminding the underling,
Tend to Priorities.
Close the book you’re reading.
Reading is not the appropriate
Use of time
being
as it is
Unconcerned
with the Feline.
Focus
on the bottom line.
Attend to what matters
Petting.
Only that.
Be here now.
