Standing is a temporary misunderstanding.

The Noon Court

At noon, Pharaoh Cat crosses the hot courtyard on four square paws. The cobra on his crown watches the doors; the curled tail counts anyone still upright. He does not chase mice. He audits posture, accepts tribute in small ceramic bowls, and waits beneath the sun until every back remembers its proper angle. One blink means grace. Two mean the floor. By sunset, even the columns appear to be leaning.

Court Etiquette

  1. Lower Your Head

    The crown notices before its wearer does.

  2. Keep Bowls Full

    Empty pottery creates unnecessary hearings.

  3. Address The Cobra

    It handles appeals without changing expression.

  4. Stand Somewhere Else

    The courtyard is reserved for knees.

Bow now. Explain later.
