The Interloper
Seen only by similar cats
It skulks through the shadows
At ungodly hours
Spewing verdant vapor down alleyways
And deserted parking lots
But with nostrils flaring upward
Inhales light from heaven
Denizen of darkness
Not quite one species nor another
Camouflaged by gaps in our common continuum
Trees speak to it as do stones and bodies of water
Inscribing human sins upon memory
For they recognize a missing link
Who yearns to exhort:
Skip a step in evolution
Dare to cross this burning bridge
Before its embers are dispersed beyond retrieval
Anachronistic friend, join those few on yonder ridge!
