POEM OF WITNESS

Tonight I witnessed

a show on 

PBS about cat 

shows and cat 

owners and at

one point they

showed cat owners

talking about the

names of their

cats and some

of the cats

were named after

celebrities and 

politicians and 

when each name 

was mentioned 

a picture of

that person would

appear on the

screen and I

thought this must

look really weird

if you watch

it with the

sound off because

if you couldn't

hear the names

you would just

see pictures of 

people like Colin 

Powell and Monica 

Lewinsky interspersed 

between clips of 

people showing their cats

to the camera

it would look

like an experimental

film or something
