Did tut tut

  

We possess nothing by chance, 

Cats and stars think 

Through the cosmic telescope new worlds claimed 

No planted flag, no catpaw 

Opens the curtains to surveil beyond lawn 

Thru snow and against snow 

We're refracted, light dissembled, tabby

And calico, maine coon trail blows away 

Is covered or melts 

By chance going either number of ways 

Up the tree or over fence or under the barn 

Bouncing off innumeracy 

Finding quasars to get lost in

or another molten ball of minerals and gasses 

To rest one's light beam 

After traveling the void for a few billion

Years, it's shed 

The new coat comes in, looking for cream 

Stars and cats make unprinted poem 

By design of chance guessing 

Does a tree fall in their woods 

If no one's seen it tasted it heard it 

scanned it weighed it read it  

Did twinkle twinkle 

Asked a rhetorical moses floating 

Nile adding its basket to sea  

Did tut tut the feline meow smiles    





"Tutankhamun acceded to the throne around the age of nine following the short reigns of his predecessors Smenkhkare and Neferneferuaten. He reestablished diplomatic relations with the Mitanni and carried out military campaigns in Nubia and the Near East. Tutankhamun was one of few kings worshipped as a deity during his lifetime. Tutankhamun died unexpectedly aged about 18; his health and the cause of his death have been the subject of much debate. In 2012 it was suggested he died from a combination of malaria and a leg fracture. " 

"By sending his treasures on tour across the United States, Nixon and Kissinger hoped to shape public perceptions about the United States' newest ally. What they got was a cultural juggernaut. From November 1976 to April 1979, “Treasures of Tutankhamun” traveled to six American cities with the help of NEH grants."
