Silly Rabbit

To me it's always a question
of where? or when? but now
I'm wondering will I make it in time?
When, suddenly,
someone is walking upstairs

singing "Ha-pee Burth-day" to me
all breathy & vampy.
What's most appealing
is the childlike quality of the design,
thick lines connecting

two points simply because they should,
like a question of faith,
answered. I said, I thought I'd sleep
on the couch, trying to be gallant, trying
to keep from jumping

out of my skin & she said Silly rabbit.
The separate areas created
are full of bold colors, broad
strokes of solid red, blue, yellow,
etc., but there is no pattern, no way

to predict what comes next
in the sequence. If we get what we want
it just might kill us but I know better
than to wish for something lethal.
The overall effect

is of studied simplicity; it's tempting
to dismiss the whole thing & pretend
it never happened.
Then there's the late night
knocking, the unexpected visitor.

She said six of one, half-dozen of the other,
a shrug to show she didn't care.
