one mouse steals traps — picture one foot caught under the metal bar three feet racing toward the hole dragging the trap behind, she chews her leg free, sad, but she’s alive so far she’s stolen three traps she’s down to one foot — picture her slow hop to the hole, nestmates helping her pull the trap home feet the other mice might eat another story is three mice lose one foot each — picture the farce oh, our world, rife with cameras & mics but none expose this lair, how mice view traps, the tales they share
