the rat

the rat

A Poem by nikki sicki

I go threw your trash
I whittle around
I am tiny
I am your neighborhood mouse
I live in a yard that sounds like a broken guitar
with mangily tan strangled grass
Inside a hole where I keep a cast
of bits of leather and fuzzy old rags
I have my daily bread and cheese
I venture out I gotta feed my family
I go threw your trash
It tells me a lot
the kind of inpatients you are or are you not?
It tells me a lot
It tells me your fat you eat way too much
cheetos, cookies and cake
I see your old hair spray, nasal strips and badly tinted lipstick
it tells me a lot
It tell me you strive for beauty and perfection
but your still too fat you eat way too much
I find your diapers condoms and pregnancy tests
it tells me your sex is overrated
I find your recites for all the s**t that you buy
that you think will help you lead a better life
sometimes you're a disgrace to mammals the way you throw out things
why don't you throw out your life
stop striving for beauty and perfection
stop eating your way too fat
your sex is overrated
but what do I know
im just a rat
