DRY BRUSH RABBIT GRASSES


dry brush rabbit grasses
bitten by cattle and sheep
graded over earth of
mesas and valleys
girdling the foothills
swallowing the coasts

dry brush rabbit development
come rolling on parkways
to your hillside warren home

dry brush rabbit
get down to the beach
go out of reach stratosphere
where music of outer worlds
sings celestial tune you
shall build to the moon

at the door beyond your reach
knocks the sunset machine in birth
and the sunrise device demise

comes clear then mystic roughage
thump your leg onto the ground

life is being now
life is not being now

this is the foothill
and that is the sea

dry brush rabbit get you down
