twenty light years south of mars
spins the gentle bunny planet
and the bunny queen is janet.
born with an amazing ear
she heard what no one else could hear-
children who had lost their way
always she was heard to say-
"here's the place where we begin,
on the day that should have been."
floating in her starry dome,
janet comes to take us home.
then it says:
it is the first duty of a flagging spirit to seek renewal in the latitudes of whimsy. i, for one, dream on beyond the five planets to a world without wickedness; verdant, mind, and populated by amiable lapins.
Benjamin Franklin (letters to a nephew, 1771)
