Sitting in the Thai restaurant,
Waiting for our food in that brief interval
While the vets subject our cat to various tests,
I watch the sleeping Buddha’s face
On the wall at the end of the room,
Imagining that benevolence
Extending to our cat, and to the dogs
Gathered in the waiting room at the vet’s office,
Their stomachs full of socks, or toys, or underwear
They’ve eaten in their hunger for exotic flavors…
