Carrots
There are carrots in the garden‒
There are rabbits too.
There are five koi in the fishpond‒
There's a cat named Joo.
There is a stream out my window‒
It floods when it rains.
There is sun within my treetops‒
I am blind and in pain.
But the carrots are ripening‒
The rabbits can share.
So I'll meet you in the garden‒
Promise you'll be there?
