Broken Cup, aka Cat Science
By Dave
Tap, tap.
"Ah, yes, the cup resists,
a vessel of mystery clinging to the laws
of gravity... or so THEY say."
The cat squints,
eyes narrowed in scholarly disdain.
"How fragile is this human artifact?
How stubborn its balance?"
Tap, tap.
It wobbles now, teetering,
a delightful dance at the edge of certainty.
The feline tilts its head,
a researcher mid-hypothesis.
"Will it shatter? Will it bounce?
Will it make the human yell?"
Push.
Down it goes—ceramic symphony on the tile.
A cacophony of shards,
a masterpiece of chaos.
The cat watches,
tail flicking with academic pride.
"Data confirms:
1. Gravity is intact.
2. Humans are predictable.
3. Cups are fragile, but delightful
in their destruction."
Leaping to another surface,
a new test subject in sight,
the cat begins again,
ever the curious researcher,
ever the chaos muse.
Tap, tap.
