IN ONE DAY

 In One Day, not much can happen. An earthquake can rock the world, wars can shatter the silence, and somewhere a new discovery will be born. In one day, skies will start pink, glow to gold and fade into dark. And not much will happen. In one day.

            Cats will rule their world.  Well, at least, Spencer thinks so. Bo will wonder about Smokey.

 Smokey will not wonder about much.                      Hair will be cut.

 Heat of the day will cause cats to seek shade.       
                                                                          All that will be heard in the heavy heat of the day is the snip, snip, snip of scisssors. Hair falling to the ground.
  Spencer will attempt to prove he is king of his adopted domain. 
( Remember these are the neighbours cats. They come to visit. To hang. To have a spa day...)

        But on a hot August day like this, it's too hot to even move. Cordelia stays on the compost. Safe from Spencer. He chases her when he can. Today it is too hot to chase.
                Cordelia turns herself into a puff ball and bides her time.
                                                              Snip, snip, snip, is all you hear in the garden.

 Smokey is a gate crasher. He flops in the shade of the gate. Spencer surveys the world from above.
                   nip. Snip. Snip. Slink, slink, slink. Smokey thinks he is a panther.
                                                  
                          Cement is cool.
                       Porch is cooler. This is the chair that is always saved for Spencer.

  Cordelia sits on a Moai. Watches the others. Smokey watches her. His ears perk up. Snip, snip, snip.
             The sky changes.

                  Activity in the garden has ceased.               The clouds start to turn gold.
                  Inone day not much can happen. An earthquake can rock the world,

            Wars can shatter the silence, and somewhere a new discovery will be born."The soul of God will be poured into the world" (Emerson)
                                    
                                 In one day, skies will start pink, glow to gold and fade into dark. And not much will have happened. In one day....
