Edginess

Snow blows beautiful
chaos against windows,
piling on sills.

Unable to venture outside,
even for a few moments on the porch,
our cats inch closer to outright madness.

They've begun to attack each other
in attempt to take the edge off.
It is unsuccessful.  Edginess remains.

I fear that my wife and I are not far behind.
I have begun to pace with my cats
room to room, inventing topics

of conversation, avoiding any discussion
of the aforementioned snowstorm
as it terrorizes the neighborhood.
