mouse

At the start of this week a new visitor came to our office A mouse a Mouse!? Only here to eat crumbs carelessly left aside But a mouse, here?! “Oh, I'll just work elsewhere today” “If you need me, I'll be working over there for now” And so I sit here, alone in our office Wearing a mask, all alone Wondering, why are they so afraid of a small creature only looking for food and shelter While an unseen tiger lurks behind every cough beside every smiling face in the midst of every crowd And I realize, I'd rather take my chance with the mouse.
