Fish Out of Water

Musings about life & travel from an East Coast native living on the Left Coast in the CA State Capitol since 2004 and now also spending time at a home-away-from-home in Evanston, IL. This fish has lived in Madison, WI (7 years); Portland, OR (2 years); Las Vegas, NV (7 months); Middlebury, VT (3 summers); Marne-la-Vallee, a small town east of Paris, France (6 months); Middletown, CT (3 years); & Marshfield, MA, the fish's coastal hometown 40 miles south of Boston (17 years).

Location: Sacramento, California, United States

In Honor of Groundhog's Day (a bit late)

Another ode to Puxakitty/Pooksatawny Muffin:

Garbanzo Cat
Falling from on high, the small beige sphere plinks to the floor
Curious feline sniffs the foreign object on the slate landscape
A circular path traced by silent paws as the hunter noses the new prey
Pink tongue darts out to taste the salty dew
Contemplative, cautious, a nibble pierces the firm skin
Grasping the smooth curves to swallow the legume
An unexpected treat from human cuisine added to the feline palate
Yet another can opener's siren call to heed
