Just as the cat in endless time Licked and re-licked his paw She in endless time Redid, and undid her hair And patted white baby cream Well into her cheeks (The cat's behaviour is instinctual - her behaviour is archetypical) Now why is that? Ans: She has the capacity for awareness and the cat doesn't.

The Capacity
Just as the cat in endless time
Licked and re-licked his paw
She in endless time
Redid, and undid her hair
And patted white baby cream
Well into her cheeks
(The cat's behaviour is instinctual - her behaviour is archetypical)
Now why is that?
Ans: She has the capacity for awareness and the cat doesn't.
