'Did you know that man has actually originated from mouse?'  
   
   
 
   
B l i n k  
   
The world becomes  
two dimensional  
pastel  
 
in  a   s p u r  
   
all I see are  
 
shapes  
gigantic  
skyscrapers  
squares of polychrome  
dull-dramatic  
   
I see prowlers  
 
swifter-larger-feline  
Scrader's Cat People  
plays on the small telly  
in my small domain  
   
Yesterday I was asleep  
neath the Baldwin  
replaying minuets  
until a pair of eyes-  
bright blue green  
made me run for  
my puny life  
   
I am the hunted  
I steal-scamper-stalk  
and Mr. McGuire makes me  
s m i l e  
 
when I am  
not chased by  
a world of Tomcats  
in the maze-haze-rage  
of the concrete daze  
   
B l i n k  
   
I am a celebrity chef  
 
It might be a dream  
but that hardly matters  
   
Freud says it's okay    
to dream
and I agree  
   
as long as I have  
a celebrity voice  
   
or-even-just-a-voice.
