Staring through a white wall
of vapid fog, Rabbit;
Drinking the hapless hair
of a rabid dog, Rabbit;
Clapping trapped flatulence
of a fatted hog, Rabbit;
Masking fascist gasps
of a flailing frog, Rabbit.
Dog-eared pages
rage cageless
with David Bowie looks,
Rabbit;
Hard covered books
squirrel neural
Annie Lennox hooks,
Rabbit;
Cracked habits
sneak attack
black magic rooks,
Rabbit;
Chess players
regress, undressed
by hooked crooks,
Rabbit.

Under the hollow proofing storm,
Dylan's horns prove to scorn,
groove to warn
them not busy
being born,
Rabbit;
The irreligious whippet fidgets
Sacrilegious tripping spigots,
The ineluctable
The unborn
Undetectably
Being shorn,
Rabbit;
The sheep creep
in heated sleep,
The dying weep
polluted deep,
Stoned elites
sliding steep,
Lemmings leap,
creep forlorn,
Drowning into,
ay aye porn,
Rabbit;
The vacant tragic scream,
seek solace in
the silent stream.
Snake charmers seed,
farm knowledge in
the serpentine.
Socials seduce death,
hollow heads
with shallow dreams.
Blinded visionaries,
sip loaded lean,
Misguided missionaries,
trip wired beams,
Shearing stitches,
of a slipping seam,
Laced up for mourning,
whitewashed clean.
bb borne scraps unredeemed,
unfulfilled,
so does it seem,
tunnel hole burrowed by
funereal team,
with furrowed brow,
elevate the mean.
lust for purpose,
meaning quest,
socialized hard,
soul's unrest,
heart busted,
through the chest,
sound asleep,
aware and blessed,
wide awake,
fear, distress;
Can rhyme bring order,
out of mess,
Rabbit?
I grew up with the tradition of saying “rabbit” first thing on the first day of the month. Never ate one, though.
