Today I Caught That Fat Rabbit

Today I caught that fat rabbit Back again Eating the daisies I'd planted. Biting their sad little black-eyed Susan heads off, Leaving the decapitations on my blacktop driveway. He kept his head up and moving side-to-side All the time his mouth was ripping, nibbling. And he held that wide-open stare. I banged on the window, he hopped and hid under the hastas. I checked the time, and went back to my kitchen and my coffee and my Bronstein book and hoped that no one catches me.

Thank you, Ms Ermine, for taking the time to read and comment. I meant by "Bronstein", Leo Bronstein, the philosopher/art historian who long taught at Brandeis U. Thanks again
