Now what

cats are supposed to run from me,
the fearsome Portia with gleaming teeth and a growl
to make anyone or anything shake
yet this one rolls on the sidewalk in front of me
or rubs her back on the post in front of me,
there is no terror in her eyes!
What audacity!
yet what do I do then with this cat
and the other one who shows such lack of
respect for my gleaming teeth and growl,
my lunge and tugging on the leash,
I smell her and find myself speechless
and confused.
