the pet rabbit

the pet
rabbit,
fat and white, a black
spot
or two
scattered across it's
shaking back.
pink eyed and nibbling on
something,
a carrot, some sort of weed,
or straw?
is it friendly, i ask.
not really,
she says.
pushing the cage
to the corner of the room.
a pyramid of dark
pellets
to the side.
a bowl of water,
half spilled.
it's teeth are very big.
she says,
we can't hold it,
or walk it,
it doesn't know it's name,
but it's cute and fluffy,
don't you think.
