rats

I had forgotten what long, horselike heads rats have. And how they seem to be wearing voluminous jumpsuits, snug-cuffed at the wrists and ankles. There must be a hole at the back for the tail they hold so daintily off the ground while scuffling along with that baggy-pants gait. They are suited up for something, maybe a spacewalk, an EVA. Perhaps they doff the whole kit when they are at home and unobserved, and under it all they are thin like lizards.
