I watched my cat sleep on the lawn like he was floating.
“Florida grass, why are you so tall and springy?” I asked.
No answer.
“Florida grass you cut me when I touch you and you make me itch.”
In the silence I lost my footing and found myself on Florida limestone.
“Florida limestone, why are you porous when Tennessee limestone is smooth?”
Several days later I started muting the sound on The Discovery Channel and my cat ran away.
