The Rabbit

Why all the effort in putting on a circus
For strange strangers? Doesn’t that make you nervous?
Have you no shame, no privacy at all?
Charlie, no need to jump from ball to ball.

If you look at your life as something sacred,
It might help you become a li’l sophisticated.
Shield yourself with pawns; don’t make a gambit.
Make love with the earth; don’t chase the rabbit.
