The Rat

________________________________________________
Title:     The Rat
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

The rat is the concisest tenant.
He pays no rent, --
Repudiates the obligation,
On schemes intent.

Balking our wit
To sound or circumvent,
Hate cannot harm
A foe so reticent.

Neither decree
Prohibits him,
Lawful as
Equilibrium.

[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Rat
