A Mind Of Her Own: Hanna Enters Our Home At 6 A.M. this Morning, Not Paying The Least Attention To Me, The Languages Spoken Poem by Dennis Ryan

Monday morning, May 15, 2023 at 11: 37 a.m.; Tuesday evening, May 16, 2023 at 7: 03 p.m.

A mind of her own—Hanna enters our home
this morning not paying the least attention to me,
the languages spoken, English, French, then Japanese:
'Come on in, Entre vous … Kochi kite, kure. Kure! '
Regardless, all of us love this cat, call her ('Iru wa! ")
what you will: Mrs. Hap, Dottie, neko chan, mon chat,
mi gato, koyangi. She is an incredibly bright, loving,
long-haired calico that opens doors to bedrooms when
sleepy—she thinks her own thoughts, makes decisions.
