Hehe. It was fun to read the poem and comments. Where will a poet and some other poets' minds meet? For me, the observation of the cat's spontaneous and careful movement is so alike to the subtitles of creating poetry itself.

THAT POEM IS THE STUPIDEST POEM IVE EVER READ. ITS ABOUT A FREAKIN CAT NOT SEXUAL EXPERIENCE. ITS NOT SYMBOLISM HES JUST WRITING ABOUT WHAT HE SAW GOING ON AROUND HIM. ANYONE COULD DO THAT! I MIGHT AS WELL BECOME A GOD DAMN POET MYSELF!

For me it's about catness... not a young cat or an old cat or a red or yellow cat... just a cat... through danger so very, very carefully, softly and quietly to safety. I love all the pitty pat Ps and Ts. Poems, WCW, and the "ness" of things.
