Cats have fur
and they purr
and they are so intent on everything they see
always
watching
inquisitively
They can be the Buddha's Sage
their eyes never show rage
just interest
intentness
always relaxed
they know where it's at
and so curious
so focused
never idle
their imagination unbridled
They have so much potential, but when you get down to it,
They live in the confines of a house
They rely on an owner for food
for water room and board
I wonder do they ever get bored
of their cell?
Do they feel that life is hell
or are they too incessantly curious
occupied in their vast imagination
to feel their incarceration?

I am a spider
and I am hovering over the table
and I am able to see a cat
and the cat can see me
and it stares
ever inquisitively

And an artist is painting a picture that will be put on a postcard and the postcard will be looked at all over the world by tourists and English students and I wonder what people will see?
They will see a spider,
but will they know me?

A spider dangles in mid-air
in the name of prudence a web must be there
to support its weight
But what do you know that is so great?
Where does your imagination go
when you allow it to be subjugated by the laws of physics?

What about music
what about love
what about peace and beauty of the dove
these things aren’t tangible
these things aren’t practical
these things are nothing less than magical
Who are you to tell me, world, that a spider can not fly?
You can give me scientific observations to tell me why
you give me proof but not no truth
And I will always believe that if you have hope
the spider floats
Free
hovering in the air
My Imagination conquers all your Calculations
Because I prefer to see a world in which we all are free
to escape and to debate
the status quo that claims to know
what is wrong and what is true
and all the things we cannot do
and so I can fly
I can’t tell you why
but when I close my eyes
and fall into sleep
fall into a sea deep and free
nothing but sweet surreality
and sometimes when I am swimming the night away
I jump and I am not afraid
to rise into the clouds
and I look down on you so proud
that I am me and I am free
and I am above you
doing what you said I couldn’t do
and so far as I am concerned
I am the Dove
I am Love
I am God above

And if you look and you comprehend
that I took your laws to an end
then you are the Cat
watching inquisitively
at the hovering spider
that is me
don’t let the table block your sight
jump into the air
Take Flight
