cat name poem

Frida, cat I named you.
You could care less.
But what are you, if the name I chose
has no meaning?
What must a cat
call itself?
Dust stirrer, bug stalker, button fiend, purr singer
tooth tongue?
Shadow jumper, snake tail, pink ear war-maker
carpet keeper, big paw, quick claw?
And what am I to you without names?
Chair setter? Soft tongue,
drum heart nest, blanket shaker,
ribbon stealer, kill sock thief?
Long-finger, mouth maker,
two hand no-no?
