Know Your Surroundings

Lazy wheels start to creak
then, faint and weak,
a small seed implants
in a dreamy mind that's in a trance.

Eyes suddenly turn black as night
a tiny body readies for a fight
Watching potential opponents like a hawk
silently. As if it can't talk.

Those not having a clue about what's happening
may-dangerously-take a seat in blissful unknowing.
Getting a nervous twinge they turn and see
nothing but a simple tree.

Ears sweep back; no one sees!
The demon-kitty from Hades!
Crazy cat's on a catnip trip.
With a pounce, it snags a piece of fluff with a flip.
