a weasel

updated on 23.09.2024

I was a child
who used to run after a rabbit
well, I mean
I thought it was a rabbit.
It’s always been that way
in all the stories and fairytales.

I chased it
with the belief, I had forgotten.
Then I stopped
I looked at the creature
I was running after.
It was a weasel,
not a rabbit,
and I got to learn that
weasels are not meant to be chased.
