REHAB
By the hospital
Outside the window
A field of burnt grass
Young rabbits
Old rabbits gather.
The patient imparts
Sense to their movements,
Gentile decisions.
Imagines
Love in their eyes
And a social order.
One of the orderlies
Puts out food every morning.
Says I can come with him
Sometime. When?
Mabbe tomorrow.
The patient sees
His reflection unsmiling
And a clock face unsmiling
Trapped in the window.
