When Rabbits Rage

Rage always begins in my chest and spreads to my belly.
It moves through my body like a common cold.

Sometimes it creeps up my throat
and makes an appearance on my tongue.

It says things I don’t mean.
Things I eventually want to take back;

But rage reminds me that I am still human.
Still breathing. Still a living thing.

So when rage comes, I use rage wisely.
When rage comes, I use rage for change.
