Ecstatic Purple Cat
	--------------------

	The purple cat was so ecstatic.
	He purred and rubbed his tail across the static
	in my hose.  Do you suppose he knows?

	His chartreuse eyes squinted, crackled
	from the light bulb.  Memories flashed back 
	from his double-A-cell back-up. 
	Trickle charges from an older life,
	one might suppose.
	
	He spread his toes and yawned,
	then exercised his kitty larynx
	with a loud me-yowl,
	Not quite a howl,
	but I could see the needle teeth he
	harbors in those jowls.

	He stretched 
	his tail and purred ecstatic 
	kitty purrs, nursed his purple fur,
	assumed a static pose.
	Do you suppose he knows?
