I Am Mouse (poem by Eric Ashford)
I Am Mouse
The dog said: I am a mouse.
The lion said: I am a mouse
The elephant said: I am a mouse.
Mouse said,
"I am a powerful Spiritual Being."
He kept saying this
in little sonic squeaks
until his soul was polished bright.
Even dog, lion and elephant
began to see themselves
in the fine glowing tips
of his rodent whiskers.
Eventually they began to hear
sub-atomic molecular particles
chanting and dancing
the same incessant prayer:
I am a Spiritual Being.
I am astounding and boundless.
I Am Mouse.
