the mouse is home alone sitting on his small mouse couch
he dropped a mouse quarter between his mouse couch cushions
his mouse hands no matter how small couldn’t fit between the mouse cracks
mousily he sits. Unsure of what to do
he uses his mouse hands to lift the mouse couch cushions
underneath his mouse couch cushions are many mouse coins
mouse cigarette butts, mouse gum, mouse girlfriend hair
mouse ex-girlfriend hair
the mouse remembers with his humble mouse brain
he remembers many mouse years ago when he drove in his
mouse car
many mouse miles
back to mouse Kentucky
he remembers the brilliant mouse sunset as he drove
back to his mouse house
all alone
to sit his mouse butt
on that same mouse couch
all by his mouse-self ever since
that
mouse night
many mouse miles
from mouse kentucky
