Bodega

New York streets

shrouded in early morning mist.

The bodega guy chases his cat,a swift blur returning to the store.

In that moment, I remember—

the span of the human timeline,

as if glimpsed from above.

The Egyptians loved their cats,

that love endures, but deeper still—

this simple scene stirs something greater.

I feel the love of all humanity,

a timeless connection,

Agape.
