Strangers on a train

Cat with mysterious powers

Strangers on a train

a white and red cat

entered our space

took his place

on an opposite seat

and started

to read

the depths

of

our minds

or it seemed

so

to me

at the time

then all

of

a sudden

his eyes

were

black holes

as he turned

his gaze

to

the door

and lay crouched

and still

with whiskers

pulled back

and on guard

then after some while

two dark shadows

approached

and fell

on the glass

of the door

one

growled

to the other

close following behind

"Ain't going in there - there's a cat," 

those shadows passed by

and we all breathed a sigh

and relaxed 

the cat
licked a paw
and then nodded 

off
as we thought
