zero reciprocating love from rabbits

she had a pet rabbit,
then two,
then suddenly
five.
she kept them in her living
room,
fenced in
with baby gates
and bowls
of water,
pellet like food.
newspapers were strewn
about,
the unread daily
news.
but i saw no 
reciprocating love from
those bunnies
despite her fawning
and cooing
over them, giving them
nick names
like girlfriend, 
and boo boo.
