This scene seems absolutely fitting around the holidays with so many functions filled with “gigantic children.”  Not to mention it’s a darn good prose poem.  I enjoy Brouwer overall for his lively spirit and inventiveness, and specifically, I enjoy this poem for that last moment when “[e]ven the mice know you’re lying.”
