SQUIRRELY

Though this is not the same squirrel, I'm sure they're distantly related...

BREATHE

when the last tourist

has left the county

when the last company

has gone home

the last undecided shopper

clogged the aisles

of the Pig

it will just be me

and that psycho squirrel

zinging acorns

down upon my head

as I walk beneath

his mighty oak...

breathe...

and duck
