As the Day Starts

The sun lazes over the eastern horizon. The gray morning breath leaves bits of dew atop the unmowed grass. A black-and-white stray cat climbs up a tree full of twittering birds. However, the stray loses its grip and falls off the trunk. The birds' perky chirping derides the stray's failed attempt to eat them. The stray cat slinks away to nap off its declawed pride. Peaceful mornings need at least one disappointment to start the day.
