It could break my toe:
a small thing
if only by comparison
since it will break the mouse's life.
Or was that the smaller thing?
Be it ever so small, my metatarsal
is a clumsy oaf to a slender mouse vertebra,
and the mouse's calamity
comes without a hospital bill, a splint or a limp.
No weeks of recovery,
just a squealing trip to the dumpster,
maybe a spritz of carpet cleaner,
and the price
of a new trap.
Because no price
is too high to pay
for a clean house.
