    How To Catch A Rabbit


    HOW TO CATCH A RABBIT

    We're down in the alleyway hanging on the wall
    the dank filthy tunnel where day in day out
    we watch what comes in slide on by
    sometimes sluggish, tending to hang around
    resisting the lazy current
    the polluted river slogging through
    Coliforms and offal - brutal bitter bile
    hitching a ride, winking at the demons
    as they drift on down the turgid road
    We're tweaked and troubled -
    too much rubs us the wrong way
    We irritate easily
    and we're compelled to strike out
    to eat into the wall
    to nip at the meat that threatens us
    to chew at the flesh that anchors us
    Infuses us with sinuous dreams
    of cold naked lights and teeth that burn
    And we wink at tomorrow's torment
    in our coal black lair

    Long nights run into night
    the carrion humping along
    while rot and detritus seep into the wall
    where we lick and lap at its juice
    ....and then the End of Days
    The tunnel heaves
    a bottomless sigh of submission
    soundlessly flickering
    then exploding with
    brilliant pinpoints of light
    bright as a billion suns and the Rabbit,
    neck ensnared, its hapless reality
    changed forever as one by one
    a ring of fire cauterizes the flesh
    jolts us with a shock wave of separation
    as we spin through the abyss
    Plump little polyps probed
    poked, labeled "pre-cancerous"
    a pathologist's plaything
    Hung out to dry - dessicated, dying
    never to realize our juicy dream
    of being someone's Nightmare
    without end
