never failed

                 shy

shed jumpup onto the desktop hang a second spy his lap jumpdown to the floor

he felt a part of some kind of apparatusobstacle in her course

bomber jumpedup big orange bomber  he worked his way down onto his lap  hung for awhile

october skittish as was if she jumpedup she made immediately for his lap

                                                                               for awhile

shy ran the gamut maybe every fourthfifth visit make his lap

                                                                  but by the time she did

Excuse me baby Gotta tap a kidney

                                       changed it up Time to take a leak

she was not amused

Don gimme a puss puss ya coud have earlier Youve lousy timing

he turned in his chairshed leap race into the hall usually went right to the bedroom

                                                                                        he imagined her punching a pillow

working her frustration out

he hollered after her Bad timing kid

curiously

evenings

bedtime

went cat to cat to say good nightif he could find them

then some time during the night shed come to bed head on his chesthis heart

                                                                                  while not having to take a leak

he still movedmoved a lot

off his back to a shoulder

off a shoulder to his back

off his back to the other shoulder

                                   while disturbing her sleep shed let him work it out

let him find his placeposture arm placement  hands

simmer down

                then shed find a bodily nockcranny that appealed

fall back to sleep

   a nocturnal dance
