They pick me up
and poke fingers
into my cottage
all in fun
as they watch
me scamper away
yet know not
I carry my home
balanced upon
my tired back
and soon I outgrow
this shrinking estate
and the hunt begins
again
until I find
a more spacious abode
yet others too
stake claim
and battle we do
until I scamper away
with a wobbly fit
learning once again
how to balance
a mansion
in shifting tides
while escaping
another
human hand.
