Everybody wants to be a cat,

but only some are willing to iterate the posture,
the fragile steps each paw takes on the hard ground,
and the majestic sway of the body.

Those who are not determined to go the extra mile,
or practice the second paw,
will fall behind,
and only live within the tight box containing their dreams - and only dreams,

nothing more.
