| Gold loop earrings came to represent my public persona years ago.
This was not intentional but a result of limited time, budget and
imagination.
One may think loops are loops. Lose one, save the single to use
again when one is lost from the replacement pair. Wrong. No 3 or
4 loops are the same.
Loops can’t be disabled. They last forever. Wrong. That is
because loops are sometimes puppy breakfast and always good handles.
Loops do sometimes serve the purpose of better health for puppies
because of their resemblance to Ascaris. Tip: Loops do not normally
wiggle.
Loops are handles. Alpha Cat in charge of scheduling need only
catch a loop with claw and give a quick yank to start the day.
Flinging loop into a dark corner, perhaps a shoe or bookcase,
Alpha Cat may then proceed to morning nap untroubled by worries
the house will lie quiet beyond first light.
Thus it shall always be that matched gold loop earrings
my trademark in public, and the singles in chains and mounds
shall ever bedeck my dresser.
