It Could Have Been .. *********************** Driving home from the evil city (TM) yesterday afternoon beautiful day the highway was full of pickup trucks hauling stuff- plywood /fencing /furniture because somebody somewhere all at once wanted to do something on this invigorating afternoon the first good day this year ya on both sides of the highway dead grey wood orchards looked like they would soon burst into bud at any moment under a clear blue sky shimmering with hope and promise and up ahead on the road was a big red streak as we got closer we could see it was a cat that had just been hit just minutes before he was a beautiful red haired cat obviously a beloved family pet who had made a bad choice crossing the road his face was angelically perfect as if just sleeping but the rest of him was torn up bad I saw it all flash by in an instant and could hardly shake that sight from my mind even after we had driven miles and miles away when I got home I ran inside and looked for Taser found him asleep on a chair on a folded sweater but I woke him up and hugged him to make sure he was fully alive and perfectly healthy he was confused but glad to see me half asleep he managed a purr then I put him tenderly back where I found him and he rolled back into dreamland with a squeeky sigh very much alive I was never so happy to see him as I was yesterday I didn't cry in joy for finding him in 100% perfect health sleeping peacefully but I could have maybe I should have maybe I will later
