a bear was used to
being nibbled while sleeping
but one mouse took
such a big bite that he
awoke to blood
the beast roared and
started to tear into the tunnels
where all the mice lived
tails ears bloody fur and body parts
mixed with the torn earth
and still he ran deeper and deeper
into secret caves and passages
with the larger creature in pursuit
ripping apart more homes and families
and any escape they tried
and so the question for the bear
is the same one for the mouse
if the consequence of action
is always an equal or greater reaction
what is the end game?
what is the bet
if it heads or tails
of a faceless coin?
