ALOOF

First meeting did not go well. But AFTER thoughtful consideration, I decided that he was not AWFUL. His ALOOF stance, calculated to keep at bay the curious and the pushy, looked at a different way, appeared to be protection. Taking him in was a risk. Building a relationship was slow. Patience was required to break through. When I succeeded, he turned into the best companion cat I have ever had.

Of all the miniatures lined in categories,
this wall of trinkets on white shelves,
you select so often a little platter of FRUIT,
then a smooth round rock.
Nurture and grounding is what you seek,
time and time again,
to protect against the CHAFE.
Today you chose DAFFY Duck,
plucked him right quick,
put him the sand, alone.
Then walked away, ALOOF.
We did not deconstruct the transition.

Only part of this is true.
From imagination comes
another kind of truth.
Which is which?
And what is what?
