You didn’t stand a chance

Rat,
you didn’t stand
a chance.
You had nothing
to do with
the plague
but the fleas
that caused it all
jumped off
your back.
Your image
never recovered.
You are
dirty. You dart
around eating
death. I’m only saying
what everyone says.
Nobody knows you
dream at night
and laugh
when tickled.
Humans cannot hear
the sound. I hope
it means you cannot
hear us
shriek.
