Country Mouse

all the fish are very pretty
shimmering silver in the glass case,
city park farmer’s market and
eucalyptus, lavender
bouqueted among snow
storms but I’d rather drink
a glass of cold milk than
watch the sun rise over the city 
one more day- 

I sleep with the blinds closed
and wake up ravenous.


A note: A lot of the pieces I've been writing lately have been short and bite-sized in a way, and this one is no exception! I've been trying to see how small I can compress a big idea while still having it be understandable.
