mouse's back

mouse’s back in town-

never left,

only stole away from her hole for an evening out,

scootin down Main Street

hoppin over bebop manhole covers

dodgin yellow taxis

blowin past disembodied alley cats

streakin cross grassy fields

searchin for another elusive sunset

strandin a couple of runners at second base

to be makin away with the cheese

oh, mouse’s back in town,

she never left,

I thought today was her day off

to wonder,

to imagine which color might promise tomorrow’s journey,

when another chance like this

maybe possibly perhaps

just might come round again

I was way off on this one,

as usual…
