Ode to rabbit
by Sonia Stephens
You perhaps do not appreciate the elegant placement
Of the single dropping left under your favorite chair.
The nipped power cords disturb you, though I merely
Highlight your dependence on electronic devices.
The midnight water-bottle clicking, the five a.m. newspaper tearing
Remind you of my insatiable hunger
And that I have not been fed for six entire hours.
Come! Bring cardboard boxes that I might gnaw
Or I will chew the sweet gumminess off your envelopes,
And feast upon the buttons of your remote control.
Look upon my works, O human, and sigh at my cuteness.
I am bunny.
