Human comprehension
But the cat's eyes follow,
Know precisely when to strike.
The lizard spots a bug
We don't even know exists
And pulls it down with a timing
That can only be described as divine.
It goes on like this.
The polarity of breeze
Ionizes the trees, and the lemons
Expand infinitesimally.
All miracles.
But then a rickety
Single-engine prop sputters by,
An old Cessna 150B,
And the panic is palpable,
The jungle retreats
In an instant to become, for a moment,
Backyard.
