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.
