the rabbit fur

it was a coat
made from rabbits.
black and white, brown
spotted.
it must have taken fifty
rabbits, their
stretched
hides stitched together
to form this
unsightly garment.
it made me sneeze whenever
she wore it
out and about,
on a date.
I was happy when
we got caught in rain
storm one night
and had
to walk and walk
before getting
to our destination.
the coat was
sopping wet, the fur
matted
and running with
weak dyes. it smelled
funny too.
I laughed, she cried
when
the rabbit coat
died.
