When the mouse slips out from under the foundation
and into the light spilling from the fluorescent bulb,
few of the party-goers notice its silent appearance.
But as it continues to move through the shadows
until it freezes in the direct light as though hidden,
more and more people begin to pay attention to it
and share speculations about the furry gray rodent
that has managed to avoid the black boxes of rat bait
and the painful-looking seizures that always ensue.
