Rabbits pt. 2

And there was a rabbit on a crucifix with Mary Magdelene
And they were surveying the promised land

With smiles, eager glances and knowing looks
I know they congratulated each other on Judas’ death

And of course, I also know that they weren’t really smiling

Just the two of them, wooden beams supporting flesh and hare-hair
And I suppose they hanged there
until a great white hand snatched them from their plight and took them off to heaven where they ate pies and drank blue wine under a pink moon and sang “Amazing Grace”


Or something




(pt. 2 of these quick and unedited stream-of-consciousness poems. structure subject to change, actual content won't be messed with)

i like both rabbits. i think my poem influenced you in terms of some specific diction and the hare-hair part, a la "trees in sight, tree's insight". good stuff.

yeah, you're probably right. i need to get back to you with some notes about that poem. keep forgetting.


the "or something" at the end of rabbits 2 kind of bothers me, i cant seem to decide whether i like it or not.
