More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
CATS

II do not think that 1 am superstitious
Were I to waken, in the dead o.
night,
I know I'd be less frightened thar

To see a shadowy spectre, clad il
white.
1 never, at the midnight hour have
started
And cried in mortal terror: What
is that?
Some Incarnation of the dread de-
parted?"
And yet L am uneasy with a cat
For always do these quadrupeds re-
Semble
In some mysterious way, folks
have known,
And though it's weak of me, 1 quail
and tremble
If in a room I'm left with them
alone.
They leer at me with malign ex-
preston,
And oftentimes I gaze at them
aghast-
AS I would gaze at people in pos
session
OF every fact relating to my past.
1 never strut or boast when cats are
present.
They make me, with glance feel
mean and cheap
Their manner may be friendly, even
pleasant
But they are deep-I know that
they are deep!
Their eyes possess an awful evil
lustre,
Each cleaning like whirl yellow
star,
And seem to say: Now now! No
cant or buster;
We know you for exactly what
you are!" ~.
1 wonder not to learn that the Egypt
Set up these creatures on a higher
plane
And suffered fits-the bad fits, called
conniptions-
When one of them by accident was
slain.
I'm often in my dreams with terror
shaken
Believing that one has me in his
clutch,
And always I avoid them when I
waken,
1 know they know, I know they
