One day

everything started

And until then things won’t be the same.

Swoosh, puff, boom, rattle in my brain

Clink, crunch, clank, jingle of the change.

Can I stare myself blind

With the weight of newborn babies?

Can I cash my life in

On a brand new Mercedes?

It’s worth that at least

If not for a tree, which stands for itself and no other.

Now all at once

Let us clap our heads together

And hear in the distance,

Outside, behind chain link fences

The sound of the rabbit blinking.

More or less, thinking

On why in the world

He was trapped.
