The Rabbit Done Died




That time Nobody
got stuck inside the Omphalos

& swallowed quick
by someone else's old

man; the closest he'd get
to such treasures

as his daughters were--
punchy in the paunch,

so it was he was filled
with bile, yellow & black

like a wasp, spat up
again without ceremony,

without a name, without
a number, without a

clue as to why 
he wasn’t more thoroughly

digested,
left to his own

devices even though they
retain no charge

corroded as they are,
an erosion

of traditional family values,
false hope of eloping

with the farmer’s daughter

aforementioned.
