Words and Music by Ian Gleespen
Arranged by Abe Maybe (the 5 piece combo)

lyrics

Fear of Mice

Little teeth
little jaws
little holes
gnawed discreetly in walls.

Buckwheat and rice
morsels taste nice.
I snapped them
they nibbled their last bites
they died.

But why can’t I sleep?
They’ve been gone for years now,
and darling you’ve tried
to dig out my knots,
scratch out these thoughts,
switch on the lights,
but I’m still afraid of mice.

Each one
was unique.
Mottled coats
and distinct whisker twitches
or squeaks.

A horror to see,
cannibals
three at once in one trap.
I can only imagine their pain.

Abe Maybe Hamtramck, Michigan

In 1984, before our two earths were unjoined; our timelines shared a history when a mystery rift in our time and space did ope' and out of nowhere emerged this race: a collective of disembodied space-born brains.
