a box of linguini

i notice
when opening the top
door
of the tall cupboard
that
the box of linguini
has been
knocked over
and tunneled through.
the box
is empty.
mice
have found their
way in
from the air vent, i guess.
i see no
sign of them, no squeaks,
no note
saying thank you.
i wonder how
they got back out, fattened
by the carbs.
i add
linguini
to the grocery list.
