WONDERS NEVER CEASE
Roberta A. McQueen
My cat leaps up in a single bound
balancing effortlessly along
the kitchen counter's edge
with the grace of a gymnast
She pauses briefly by
the dish drain without knocking
down the precariously placed
herbal shampoo bottle
She peers around it
then stares in wide-eyed wonder
at the curious creature
who willingly wets her hair
