Brown Hare
───
Brown Hare knew
as he entered our clearing
this was no kind of dare
so this was no kind of fearing
I sat reading
about Man's search for meaning
Brown Hare was out
due to Hare's need for eating
[Brown Hare
camouflaged
just right
for the evening]
Theoretically
it's possible
that Brown Hare
couldn't see Me blended into
the steel shrubbed overgrowth of the panel van
It's possible
So Brown Hare
No dare
No care
Just 4 feet from My motionless stare
He remained in his idling gallop gait
Across My anterior reach and back again
I think then Brown Hare's equipment
picked up waves from my fix
Idling gallop gait switched
to moderate bound gait
Up in pace
But no need to race
Just a pulse of auto-impulse
to guide his exit from our union space
Then Brown Hare arced under the electrified wire
and rounded the coarse bushes
I returned to my book
Its words kissed by the Dane evening
Its pages illuminated by the dusked delight
of Brown Hare watching Me watching Brown Hare
Linked
