build a cat. make it from wood. burn that down; blame the mouse. wait til dark. remember the cat; tell tales of it; believe those. call up the mouse. ask how he is. as you do: build a cat. (not wood this time.) describe it, over the phone. kill that mouse. leave it be. take a picture, or don't: your call.

a new day: wake up the cat. fill him in. cut him open; retrieve the mouse. bury them both, but separately.

dream of a dog. build a cat instead. & next: the mouse. make them get married. become a tiger. jerk off.
