the little mouse maze

you can always tell when

someone is lying, holding

out on you,

not giving you the whole

story,

the complete picture.

it's in their eyes, their

hesitancy, they mumble

and avert their gaze.

it's not lying exactly,

but lying by omission.

you want to shake it out

of them, but what's the

point. you'll find out

eventually, you'll find

the cheese, but it's hell being

in their little mouse maze.
