yes, there were mice

of course
there were mice.
you could look at him
and almost
expect one
to jump out of his beard.
his flannel
shirt
and pajama pants,
hanging loose
on bones,
paled to a scaley pink.
glasses
on his nose,
his a hair a bush
not unlike
a tribesman in 
the outback.
was he somewhere
still inside all of this.
who's to know, but yes,
there were mice,
a lot of mice.
