Untitled

I tap my fingers
and you bite your nails
truth waits nervous at the door
Trust weighs itself evenly between us
And if I ask for it all,
you give it
But does it really come?
Can I be not so righteous?
It's not so fun you know

Cat Caught the Mouse

Cat caught the mouse in my head
no more scurrying around up the walls
for him
I feel him squirm and I hear the crunch
of his head being chewed on
His mousy tail hanging from the cats mouth
I have to lie down
as it chomps away
I quiver with the mouse
and squint my eyes like the cat
its jaw clenched
drooling between chomps

I think I must eat the cat
the cat that ate the mouse
I'm not sure I can
or where to start
but somehow
this is true
