Leo, Leo
.
He is
counter-jumper
keyboard-walker
catnip-dancer
a rumbling sports-car engine
somewhere about his person
.
who helps random objects
find the floor
.
who has racing stripes
of velveteen
with plywood patterns
.
he snaps and pops
sparkles with static
.
electricat
.
he is larger than he appears
.
he is the long-leggity beastie
who goes bump in the night
.
and gallops
down the hall
neither night nor morning
.
but at the ungodly hour
.
