duckrabbit
Billy Collins
The
lamb
may
lie
down
with
the
lion
,
But
they
will
never
be
as
close
as
this
pair
Who
share
the
very
lines
Of
their
existence
,
whose
overlapping
is
their
raison
d'etre
How
strange
and
symbiotic
the
binds
That
make
one
disappear
Whenever
the
other
is
spied.
Throw
the
duck
a
stare
,
And
the
rabbit
hops
down
his
hole
.
Give
the
rabbit
the
eye
,
And
the
duck
waddles
off
the
folio.
Say
,
these
could
be
our
mascots,
you
and
I
--
I
could
look
at
you
forever
.
And
never
see
the
two
of
us
together
.
