Lori unhinged the house
folded it windows and all
then placed it into her hand bag.
As she walked
a loose shutter clacked
and banged with each step.
As she walked
all the leaves in the gutters
fell on to her path.
Lori walked until she was under
the perfect patch of sky
and then unfolded the house.
The house mouse
navigated this physics challenge
and raided the pantry.
