have-a-heart-trap

my cats started catching mice daily,

i found old halloween reese's wrapping all over the ground

and lay a have-a-heart trap

one day it caught a fluffy brown eyed mouse

we called him bill meuller the mouse

after the red sox 3rd basemen

and put him in the car

and dropped him off at the mansion down the street.

then we checked on trap and there was nobody there

and everyday we checked on it

for 3 months

then it was christmas

and we went away

and when we came back

we found a little shriveled up mouse carcass

starved to death

in the have a heart trap

an indoor cat

came downstairs with a bird in his mouth

march of blue and yellow

march of blue and yellow

they speak from the cavaties of their faces
they emulate
the droning of those like them
the celebrity of far away places
the royalty of their neighbors

nationalism undermines hospitality
sameness antagonizes guests

at the brink of understanding a forgotten language
in a return to a place I've never been
there is structure without meaning
there is context without content

cavities of faces sound
numbing lullabies

accents are recognized. I can tell if they are from the west or east or south, but
I can't tell what they are saying
