the black cat saunters across the rooftop
oblivious to the chaos he creates -
the low growls and short "ruff"s of dogs
confined inside and unable to give chase.
he shows himself at roof's apex
and sits to groom himself,
gets up and saunters to roof's edge,
finally disappearing into his own backyard.
the dogs wait patiently, vocal cords vibrating
in low growls - standing at attention
lest the black cat show his face again.
nevermind the rooftop's too high a place for dogs.
