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
