The speckled cat and the road

 Ive seen the speckled cat
The treasured wall where it would bask
I have seen the signs
The road is long, the road will wind

I've seen the speckled cat
Found the rare penny
Rusted from the rain
stuck inside the tar

I patted the cat 
the past spoke
It yelled
It drove onto the shoulder

I patted the cat
The past whispered
It calmed
It breaked toward the intersection

I've seen the speckled cat
It meowed at my arrival
It stared at me
As if the road itself was mine
