Who needs cohesion when you have multimedia?
The last poem in the February issue of Poetry is a lovely one-sentence gem: “Song of the Egg” by Deborah Warren. I won’t reprint it in full but here are the first three lines as a teaser:
“If, when he looked, a prophet saw
within the egg’s imperfect O
a bantam little shadow– death
I miss our old car, which is probably the size of a television set by now. I miss its 11-gallon gas tank, impeccable turning radius, fold-down seats that extend the trunk space, and manual transmission.
Bye bye again, lovable hunka junk.
And, here is a video of a kitten that I sort of know. It plays fetch. This clip is what her owner, Marie, refers to as “Extreme Fetch.”

Okay, I laughed out loud. But I was already enjoying “a kitten that I sort of know”–how coy!

Yes, I too laughed…although I was sad that the best part of the video was missed. I find it super funny when any cat or kitten gets wet and then does that silly shake on each paw one at a time and then alternating paws together. They look like cartoon characters that are being shocked in intervals. oh, well still funny.

HA HA HA HA!
I’m charmed/amused by the cat, and in total awe of your ability to post a video on your blog. I haven’t even been able to post links to other bloggers! You rule, my dear.
(I also love the silly kitty shake.)
How funny that Kitty didn’t get wet until AFTER she had achieved her objective. That says something deep (so to speak), but I’m not quite sure what.
