a poem by Joshua Brown

Mockery of the 8th Reich

A cute fluffy bunny wink

Nottingham's dirt bike

All together on skate rink

Happy, happy, happy smile

Whisker quick the fluffy 

Cacophony of patched style

Round and round Lucky

Prism of the politico priest

Art of engine and gasoline

Art of breeding bouncy beast

Love together, dancing clean

Grass I saw of brownish

Tough weather on the day

Inside the rink so mirthish

These unlikely fellows play

What is this village sheriff

With guns against the Hood?

What is this angry Motif

Grafittied on Nazi Jew'd?

Is this the upside world below

Alice' Loooking Glass hurled

The dancers snappy and slow

Into which memes are furled?

I watched in mesmer booth

Through black glass I did stare

At rabbits tiny crooked tooth

And the Reich-man's fiat fare.

A dollar bill did fly about 

The whisking players free

Who smiled at my doubt

About their genealogy

A raven from the sky flew in

Through rotating door ajar

His bill caught on to Robin's sin

A greenish jolly scar

Ahoy ahoy! Cried out the bike

His silver badge across his chest

Indignant aginst the winged tyke

Of unmeritable criminal zest

"Why are you here among these

Attacking our dreamish ghouls?"

The raven cawed about "red trees"

Then pranced about with the fools

And then a rift began to dawn

Among the wooden planks crossed

On which the party had gone

Long into the night bodies tossed

First it was just imperceptible

A sliver of light piercing veils

The actors floated unstoppable

Over the time dilated scales

But as it widened you could see

Below into a glass forest heav'n

With lush trees and new specie

As far as eye could thus be driv'n

And fell gracefully the clan

Into this beautiful home wild

Full of ranged efficient man

Who imagined thus as Child.

Tamed the beast of politics

The future cast down Kings

Into dangerous world of relics

The bunny now grew wings

One thousand years survived

In glorious balance charged

Smiling at the clouds clived

Deep happiness had emerged

I sat among the table filled

With healthy meaty nour'sh

Around which bad lords silled 

With guns and lustful sirs

There was no growth in life

For here there was no death

Eternal mediocre strife

Of business, consuming breath

Ahoy ahoy! Cried out the...

Wait... he disappeared just now...

Slowly vanished into...

Was this world cursed?!

What is going on?!

Why is the bunny gone too?!
