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…
