because I can

Because I can,
watch the cat
creep out from beneath the bed
in the moonlight
as if the quiet appealed
to her better senses ,
I too can tiptoe between thoughts
before the stars move
before she decides it’s time for sleep
before tomorrow has it‘s choices

A cat's is night time. That's when they're most active. I believe you may be, too.

While I'm sleeping I'm most active, dreaming. There was a dog, but no cats in my dream last night.
