After i don’t know how many days
After 6 meals in 2 weeks
After runnin from th cops on bad pink knees matted wit gum
After spittin curses from th hole in my neck on th man who ripped me
After getting crushed under 2Times Billy who passd out on top of me for 14 hours sleepin off th Lysol while i withered plastic heart nose caught in his malicious left armpit
After findin a kitten in a Ziploc in th bathroom of IHOP
After a hippy tried to muscle me in his car at th stoplite i was workin offerd me a joint insted of cash now what th fuck can i do with that when i can’t even inhale I DON’T HAVE LUNGS JERRY then th creepo grabbd hold of my fur an attemptd to pull me in his environmentalism church van with th smoke comin out th tires i tell you humans are sick
i’m goin th fuck home
To th red door behind wich a very angry littl man waits with accusations an ultimatums i’m sure
To th dark closet where he stuffs me on top of his smelly old luggage near his stupid punk rock t-shirts that he loves mor than anyone
To th arms of my Lisa Bunet, who holds me nd picks th gum off my furry knees an kisses me behind th ears an asks me if i held paws with anyone while i was gone that sweet rabbit i supose i should do right by her one of these days stick aroun start a family build a littl hole near a carot patch right behind a distillery
but i’m just th restless sort, you know, a loner, a drifter, a by-your-leave bunny, a nomadic hare, a Rebel Without No Claws, she never thinks I’m funny
She ain’t gonna like my decision to go to St. Louis, that’s for sure
