Rabbits

rabbits

the quick rabbit keeps his luck
the slow
fade of paper in the sun reminds me that wisdom doesn’t
last

night I saw a beetle crawling in my bathroom
arrogant and
perfect
ion comes for those who
wait

gain is envied by those who’ve lost
faith
said to shut the hell up and
drive

before you those who’d do you
harm
ony reinforces structure
makes things more
apparent

ly they think farm life is easy
this is a
myth
ology tell us to trust our
children

make pies from mud
to eat
the days
we’ve forgotten
something
important will come up
if you have to
lie

s fill the floor like so much lint in
pocket
s of low pressure cause storms
over

your shoulder is just air
the sky holds nothing for
you
need to learn about the world
the fox eats the slow
