What if?


I watch my cat stare fixedly 
At a painting I’d stacked on the floor, 
And wonder: 
What are his thoughts as he stares, 
And what is it that engages him — 
Or did he just happen to fall asleep 
In that spot on the rug 
Instead of my lap? 
I know he loves music; 
What if he also loves art?
