Cat Fight in Incheon


Watching two cats
Fighting along side the sidewalk,
In suburban Incheon New Airport Town.

Completely indifferent
To the humans walking around them.

And the humans
were indifferent to the cats

As they stood there fighting
And screeching at each other.

One orange one,
One half black half white one,
Both middle age in cat years

As I sat there watching the cats,
really getting into it
I wondered
what they were arguing about?

But since I don't speak cat
I really didn't know

All I know is they were
really screeching at each other
And almost look like
they were about to attack each other

But one cat backed down
As the other cat stood,
their proverbial ground.

If they were humans,
one would have pulled out a knife
Or a gun
And someone would have been killed.

But being mere cats
They stared at each other


And walked away
but they kept glancing at each other .


So I knew the fight as not over
Merely postponed until a later hour.

Cats truly are the aliens
Who live among us humans?



Or perhaps we are the aliens
Who live among the cats?
