Rascally rabbit

Today on my way to school I walked past a rabbit. It was maybe only four or five feet away from me. It looked at me and then went about its business as though I wasn't there. I was like, 'man I must be like some Shaman, communing with nature, a oneness of man and beast.' But that couldn't be it. So I made a little jump at it, and it seemed to scamper off somewhat half-heartedly. Then I thought, 'maybe it's like a return to an untamed wild. Where generations of rabbits taking domain in the unlikely urban landscape - never hunted, never threatened by humans - have reverted to an innocent state, the fear of humankind gone.' Then I thought, 'that's silly. I wonder what rabbit tastes like.'
