Predictability

We try to find consistency and inevitability in the most interesting places.

Yesterday the internet was out
All day
As if to say
I know the Comcast person
Arrives on Monday
To change our provider.
No one likes change.
No thing likes change.
Still change comes
Irregularly,
Inevitably.
Yesterday we think we caught
The last mouse,
Released him in the same place
As the other two,
Watched as he climbed a tree
To our face level,
Then scrambled down
To find the other two.
Today all four traps
Were empty.
Perhaps we caught the last mouse.
Perhaps not.
Today the internet works consistently.
The Comcast person is due to arrive
Any minute.
