The Poem
--The original #general--

soft

soft

the rabbit digs his warren

digging, and digging, soft, soft

a kingly estate

tunnels and passageways crossing, crisscrossing

this way that way every way but where do they lead but to one another?

where do they stop but at the start?

the only way out is in

and when you are out you learn there is no difference

the rabbit knows this

the rabbit knows this like the rabbit know the dirt in his soft paws

it is written in his flesh and blood

so he burrows

soft

soft

deeper

plodding along

there is nothing to see down there

the light does not reach

there is only dirt between toes

scraping

scrabbling

digging soft soft and to where?

....do you hear them?

''the farmer? the dogs?''

soft

we're safe down here

the only way out is in

''come. ''

--The #soft channel version--

the rabbit digs his warren.

digging, and digging,

soft, soft.

a kingly estate.

tunnels and passageways

crossing, crisscrossing,

this way, that way, every way but

where do they lead but to one another?

where do they stop but at the start?

the only way out is in.

the rabbit knows this

the rabbit knows this like the rabbit know the dirt in his

soft paws

it is written in his flesh and blood.

so he burrows.

deeper, deeper, plodding along,

soft, soft, soft.

there is nothing to see down here.

the light does not reach.

there is only dirt between toes,

scraping, scrabbling, digging,

and to where?

the enemies are up there.

do you hear them?

soft

the farmer, the dogs.

but we're safe down here.

the only way out is in.

come.
