mouse

a mouse got hit by a car

its parents said, don’t cross that road

there’s nothing on the other side

the mouse said no, said it has to see for itself

now it’s lying there

its colour matches the pavement

the more it got ran over

the more road it becomes

the less mouse it is.

t.l.

      Thank you for commenting! This is a very interesting angle, and you’re right, if only we could learn by listening.
