White Chocolate Rabbit
In a sugary conflagration
Of saccharine sweetness
I burn carbon caramel black
In overwhelming frustration
Until I seep syrup
From every pore
Until I am empty inside
Like a child’s chocolate Easter bunny
And someone has taken a large bite
Out of my chocolaty cotton-ball tail
And now I loom
With a massive vendetta
That encompasses even you
“And I have sharp pointy chocolate fangs too . . .”
This white chocolate rabbit
Is always late for every important date.
But I also know exactly
How deep the rabbit hole goes . . .
So while I may be one of the hollow rabbits
You will follow me
Just to see if you can keep up
With this rabid chocolate rabbit
Hold me tight if you can
I melt in you mouth
Not in your hand
Stroke me for I am velveteen and soft
But when you have followed me down
As far as the rabbit hole goes
And eaten as much of this chocolate figurine
As you care to taste
You too will cast me off into the refuse heap
Where I can be food for the hollow
Hollow worms, hollow freaks,
Hollow strangers, who speak hollow speak
You have licked all the sweetness you care to taste
Found the end of the rabbit hole?
Only now that you have had your fill
Of my emptiness, your belly full
Of nothing
Just wait
Your day is coming
Nothing begets nothing or so they say
And I have filled you full of my nothing
So stay with me . . .
Another empty white chocolate rabbit
With sharp pointy chocolate fangs
You have been bitten
By the one you once bit
And now you can understand
Why the pieces never fit
“So let us go then you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized on a table.”
Inside out or outside in
A world of infinite space
Within the confines of your hollow eyes
Of saccharine sweetness
I burn carbon caramel black
In overwhelming frustration
Until I seep syrup
From every pore
Until I am empty inside
Like a child’s chocolate Easter bunny
And someone has taken a large bite
Out of my chocolaty cotton-ball tail
And now I loom
With a massive vendetta
That encompasses even you
