The Squirrel and the Rabbit

Drew Marshall

It was the first heavy snowfall of the season
I looked out of my apartment window
Across the alleyway
I spotted a squirrel on the fire escape
It was standing tall against the elements
I ran to get my camera
When I returned
The squirrel had vanished

I recalled the time
When a squirrel had gotten into my kitchen

He flew around the kitchen at lightning speed
One second he was on the stove
The next on the table
He finally settled onto the top of the refrigerator

The squirrel started screeching
The shrill shrieking noise took me by surprise
I never knew they could make such sounds
A few minutes later the animal found its way back to the window
He quickly took off for more familiar ground

While in my late teens
A friend of my mother’s had given me a rabbit
A beautiful mixture of grey and white
Smooth to the touch and easy on the eyes
This rabbit liked to nip me
He was not interested in making friends

When taken out of his cage
He left his droppings throughout my home
After a few months I tired of this
I gave the rabbit to a kid down my block

I never gave the nameless rabbit a second thought
Until I ran into this kid several weeks later
He told me the rabbit had died
I felt guilty, coupled with a sense of loss

Strange to have such feeling for a pet I never cared for
