Eeek! A Mouse!

I recently had an encounter with a mouse in my house. The short version is this: two days, food stolen from mousetrap (which was left broken and useless, presumably by the mouse), useless cats becoming very useful after all, mouse gets evicted (by me). If you really must know the full version (which I am guessing you really don't), feel free to email me.  Here's at least one of the poems inspired by the event. 

Suburban Cat

ears high and rotating

to find that sound

scouring the walls or cabinets

she stalks it unlike hunter

but – even when she

sees her subject she follows –
like paparazzi – starstruck

at catching a glimpse of

that which, until now, has

only been a distant dream
