Once Upon a Time...

there was a mouse that dreamed
of being a wolf
 
every feral feline throughout the forest
would quiver at the mention of him
 
his mere howl at the moon
echoing through the trees
would claim one
or more
of their nine lives
as their hearts raced
to a stop
 
instead of scurrying from hole to hole
with a colony of mice
he would walk calmly
with his pack
 
instead of small
he would be big
 
instead of being hunted
he would hunt
 
instead of living in fear
he would instill fear in all things living
 
once upon a time
there was a mouse that dreamed
but as he kept dreaming
that time passed
and it never came to be
 
and now the rat
between the teeth of a cat
sees how useless a dream can be
