You know in Chinese restaurants
The waving, brightly coloured cats
One arm moves
In quasi human salutation
………….
A cat could never sit
Straight up like that
And a person
Gets tired
And anyway
They are actually Japanese
………..
The best and worst
Of both worlds
………….
We can eat and eat
Or merely sit
Let things be what they will
The arm of the cat that waves or is still.
