quiet as a mouse


‘More, brother?’  Can I lose weight by eating more?  And that more is rice.  I’ll eat anything, especially if I don’t see it first, but there are some flavors that sneak across the palate before I can object and then it’s eating the rest disguised in the moola (a white carrot, like a beet) or in the mound of rice.
A mouse-rodent with a long snout woke me up at 5am, and it took  an hour to finally locate him in my backpack, which I shook over the balcony, it hung on as if he wouldn’t survive a fall into grass…and it looks like he didn’t.
Quite drowsy by mid morning.  A few games of Uno in the dining room, back to the room, oh Suraksha has followed , going through everything like a musa.  Until the skies clear and tourists come to the guesthouse, there isn’t much to do.  Didi, the hired help, does everything so I can watch fog roll.  I thought writing would give me the channel to remain occupied.  Soon I will post some of the stories I’ve been revising and…and what?  I like how fog reduces everything.
