Bunny Is Missin

Bunny is missing

She is out to feed her flock

To save her kittens

But she aint young anymore

And love aint what she's lookin for

A warm bed and a light

Some where to sleep at night

But bunny has been missing too long

After her first trip

The light flickered

Off
and then on

The shrink held her in a trance for a week

Bunny was depressed

Bunny didn't speak

About

THE PAST

In the history class she always came last

First to leave

Slashing her skin on the glass

Bunny has be gone too long

She left a girl with a pink scarf behind

Looking through gates

Wait wait wait

Never arriving

Watching the children

getting their cake

Bunny has been missing for years

And there's a whole rumour

Of somebody basking in 'talk show tears'

Bunny left home left the key in the door

Finding her feet in the street

A peice of meat on the floor

left dangling bloody and cold

Selling to the first bidder

A faustian pact with a soul

Half complete

In taking a trip to the shopping mall

Watching the blood from the tracks in her arms spill

hot cold

Into the electric light of a dream

Tripping the wire

The road and the word scapes

Like home

left luggage

Roam

Room

Rome
Finding her feet

In a wordless street

Of pocket empty

Motifs for

EAT ME ALIVE

To sta sta sta sta stayin ALIVE!

A BEE GEE

First class act

A dance in the dark

In the park

turning around ina circle

Of strangers

And back

Bunny is missing

Some say she was never here

Mind addled

Full of fear

skin riddled by love diseased

SEX

paid dollar and dime

Pound pence

Flesh stretched

old

sold

houses in

crumbling blocks

Bunny was never here in

All this 'real time'

some say she was extinct

If you blink she dissapears

And appears at a sink where

An old bag lady who drinks

stares at a frozen sky

With tears she cannot cry

And when the hustlers pass by

and call out 'BUNNY! '

She whispers ' why? '
