Inside
the top hat,
a rabbit nibbled greens:
the man tipped his hat away to show
the rabbit, still, with long-toothed
grin, as mean
as hell.

Love the juxtaposition of the innocent bunny exterior with the long, cruel teeth. Also, the set-up of the magician with the top hat--we're all familiar with this trick but you present it in such an original way: what if the bunny isn't what it seems but a secret monster summoned from the unseen realm . . .
