Exterminator's Lament

People and mice 
live together 
forever. Mice don't 
care. They just know 
what they like. 
 .
Caveman-like
tenant warm squats 
food hubs, 
babies' buvettes. 
They navigate  
with poor eyes,
by noses, 
the dark 
mazes.
 .
I have my own
trouble with sympathy.
Oh Disney how you have
led me astray.
I hear them 
unkillable with their
pitter patter feet.
