Have You

Have you seen galloping horses
Thundering across the grassy plains?
A rush of wind breaking free.

Have you heard scrabbling tutles
Scratching hopelessly at their tanks?
A ghost’s desperate moan.

Have you stroked a baby bunny,
Felt its delicate fur on its bones?
A fluffy cushion inlaid with glass.

Have you sucked some gummy bears,
Juicy fruitiness bursting in your mouth?
The soundless murder of innocent victims.
