Sleeping Little Mouse and the Friend He Can't Protect

Spinning my tales

I pretend to be asleep.

You don’t hear my little coarse squeak.

You see me asleep not as a threat---

Which is your folly,

Which will be your downfall

Small insignificant pretender

It’s terrible, I’m sorry for you.

But my task is to record

What you do not want others to hear

And what you would not want said.

You talk like you’re free,

When you really are not.

And you speak into the silence,

As I never will.

Little door mouse I am,

I never have the courage

To do what I must.

To do what you do.

Do this for me, your erstwhile friend,

And I shall not let you fall.

Be condemned.
