Rat you are too fat
rat you are trapped
in the trap of a rat.
Hiding in fewness, shopped
by your womb’s abacus,
from invisible slimness pushed out
by your intricate foot.
Whisker-precise, twitch-perfect
to your tail’s last 0.00
Rat you are trapped
in the brilliance of rat.
Rat rat rat rat
how will you get out of that?
-Peter Oswald
