On All Fours you sit and you work at your desk when you’re home it’s like you’re not here when you’re here when you’re lost in your work but i’ve noticed one thing whenever the cat comes near your desk struts around your leg, maybe meows you stop what you’re doing to give him some attention sometimes the cat’ll even jump on your desk put his paw on the book you’re reading to see if you’ll scratch him behind his ears so i wonder if this is what i have to do i’ll crawl over to your desk on all fours rub my head against your leg to see if you’ll stop your work and notice me photograph by John Yotko Copyright Janet Kuypers.
