belfries & heads of state

a found poem

In the closet
where the vacuum cleaner is kept
there also lives a bat

How to get rid of it?

The light bulb
has been unscrewed
so as not to wake it

and
upset it


Found in this morning's Financial Times' citation of a diary entry from To the Castle and Back, Vaclav Havel's memoir of his presidency.
