The Trix Rabbit

This hare was created, through artificial processes, by the known chemist Dr. Erwin Kellog, who despite his old age always felt like a child inside. In combining both organic and inorganic compounds, Kellog successfully engineered this creature. The Trix Rabbit is most widely recognized for its plush white fur, bulging bug-like eyes, abnormally large limbs, namely its hands and feet, as well as its exceptionally long and elegant ears which came as a result of using a rare inorganic compound, Ceric Ammonium Sulfate, a dihydrate reagent in the engineering process. The rabbit took on strange habits that stunned its makers. The engineers noticed that the rabbit would reject carrots in favor of artificially manufactured pellets of food that contained various colorings and flavors. Dr. Kellog inquired as to what these artificial pellets were, and he found to them be breakfast cereal named “Trix” after the sneaky tricks and secrets they used to create these pellets of food. The creators of “Trix” were quite delighted that their product was reaching far more consumers than they expected. They requested that the rabbit’s picture be advertised on their product, thus the rabbit earned its reputable name “The Trix Rabbit”. Because the rabbit received so much publicity, he became much more haughty in nature, expecting attention at every moment, and did not tend to share with others. The rabbit had to be placed on “Trix” starvation until he could demonstrate that he can act towards others with proper manners and social graces. This explains why originally, the Trix rabbit did not have a wide smile constantly spread across his face, but once he learned how to treat others properly, he became quite the jolly creature. As the product gained popularity on breakfast tables, children became far more possessive of their “Trix” and were seen accosting the rabbit, telling him that he is not welcome to share their food because “Trix are for kids”. 

Fly Away (Twitter Poem)

Take your halo and your blemished white doves,

We will not tolerate your ignorance.

Coffee Break

She hands me my order

The styrophoam cup is red

Ginger’s in the air

Global Warming 

Ginger is in the air

But there is no frosted ice

I want my mittens

On the First Night

Here come the gifts

The man with the potbelly

Oil is frying

Spin Around

They go in circles

Roughing out what was once smooth

The children all smile

Morning Rituals

Through the cloudy windowpane you see me locked in chains

Bound up in shackles behind heavy iron bars

And I wonder what it is like on your side of the glass

The buzz can come at nine or half past noon 

No time cards to punch, while I've got three.

In the sun's warm embrace you may sit 

With a book or magazine, or maybe just with your thoughts

They have neither message nor meaning, but that’s more than fine;

Your actions, good or bad float on through time.

And mine are carved in the stone pages of judgement.

Through the cloudy windowpane you see me locked in chains

 Bound up in shackles behind heavy iron bars

Maybe someday I’ll take an outing on your side of the glass

But dreams end with the ring and the call of Morning Prayer

My body has defied its limbs, in favor of its Master and its Maker

My arm brandishing the mark of the King, my head wearing His crown

Your mocking voice is drowning by the rising voices of commitment.

This is my privilege, my worth and my pride. 

Through the crystal clear windowpane, I see you locked in chains

Bound up by in shackles, behind heavy iron bars

And I have never felt so free.
