A cat came drifting onto my porch from the outside cold   And with eyes closed, drinking warm milk from my bowl   Thought,   "Nobody hears me! Nobody hears me!   As I crept in so soft   And nobody sees me! Nobody sees me!"   As I watched six steps off      Like peacocks wandering the walkways of the zoo   Who have twice the autonomy the giraffes and the tigers do   Saying,   "No one can stop me! No one can stop me!   No one clips my claws.   Now everyone watch me! Everyone watch me   scale these outside walls!"      Oh you, pious and profane   Put away your praise and blame   Said, "A glass can only spill what it contains"   To the perpetually plain, the incurably inane   A glass can only spill what it contains      What new mystery is this?   What blessed backwardness?   The Immeasurable One is held and does not resist!   Struck by wicked words and foolish fists of senseless men   The Almighty One does not defend      I was halfway listening to what she thinks she knows   We're like children dressing in our parents' clothes   Saying,   "Nobody knows me. Nobody knows me.   No one knows my name.   Nobody knows me. Nobody knows me.   No, nobody knows me."      I half-heartedly explained   But gave up peacefully ashamed   A glass can only spill what it contains   We went to Portugal and Spain   And in her mind the entire time it rained   A glass can only spill what it contains      What new mystery is this?   In overflowing emptiness   The Invisible is seen among the shadows and the mist   Before my doubting eyes the Infinite appears in time   The Unquestionable is questioned but makes no reply      What new mystery is this?   What new mystery is this?   What new mystery is this?   What new mystery is this?   What new mystery is this?   "My Rabbi!"   My lips betray with a kiss   What new mystery is this?
