2. WAKING UP

At the dawning of the day
Your cat, an urban stand-in 
For a crowing rooster, 
Bats your glasses 
From the nightstand 
To the floor. 
And just in case 
The message 
Hasn't reached you, 
She makes her way 
Imperiously 
Across your body 
Plops down
On your pillow 
And loudly purrs 
Directly in your ear. 
You stretch, 
Recalling that there are 
Worse ways 
To be awakened.
