A night with benny

I watched Benny a dragonfly propeller in his right mouth
his face could fly if he didn't want to play
he grinned
as cats can't grin
I grinned back as I can
stroked his head and let the dragonflly go
paws flailing after his new friend.
Not much of a dragon,
I thought,
to be caught by a cat.
I opened the door to life
while
Benny chased a spider.
I'd love to fly.
