all shall bend the knee
and swear their fealty to the
baby carrots' king

Christmas tree, covered
with baubles, looks bare without
a cat at its base

to initiate 
request, cat sits on your chest, 
looks imperious

fluffy cat rests next
to your legs, fueling your love, 
his future mischief

bird hunted for break-
-fast next to coffee shop where
I’d order my own

awake before the
farmers’ market closed, I bought 
bread as a reward

father-daughter quest
for groceries met success:
sweet dad found honey

two cats arrange them-
-selves in a sweet tableau, but
which should I pet first?

Kyp observes shifted
objects, does not consider
impending cleaning

lime floats in gin and
tonic like a fish, attracts
fluffy predator
