My neighbor has a seven year old daughter,
all big blue eyes, long blonde braids,
a brain built for slaughter.
While raking my yard this morning,
I looked up in time to see her
kill a baby rabbit with her sling shot
(an admirable ballistic feat)
The unconcern for innocence in the heart of that child
does not bother me for a moment.
My evil deeds, done with flippant habit
are more magnificent that the mere murder of any rabbit.
What concerns me is that gleam in the childs eyes
as she gazes at her victims corpse
all skewed, cottontail in the dew.
It is the same gleam seen at Auchwitz by the Jew.
