it
did
not start
with the mouse
but lucky rabbit
oswald, who ub, the great penman,
polished to life across the screens for walt's pose and voice—
sure walt sketched a mouse on his sad train home after losing the hare and his hired inkers—
ub rolled mickey and minnie's silent ears from black and white to technicolor talkies
then fell aside long before snow white smiled walt's revenge
eighty years later walt's heirs bought
back the rabbit whose
costume now
walks walt's
theme
parks
