Sick-minded rabbit
You who is tired of the clock
and the turning
of pages in the calendar.
Turn off the television
so your feet start movin'
take the trash out
and go off to work
you who is tired of the clock
must learn to keep your eyes away.
Take off your shadow
and the weight
of the wait
now you seem lighter.
You
now that your own lifeforce turned against you.
You seem aware,
as if you no longer wish to sleep.
Go,
Sick-minded rabbit,
and reclaim the ground
you lost.
