Thanks, Laz and Kurt.
Kurt — never even thought of the Alice connection. 🙂 Now all I can think of when I read this is a white rabbit running by with a pocket watch and a worried expression. 🙂
I experience that – all summer long! I bike to exercise in the summer, much of my main route takes me on a bike/walk path through a thin strip of park in the middle of the city (much of it running in the shadow of a raised thruway over a fetid creek…) – it’s not unusual to see a cottontail rabbit or a chipmunk skittering along or across the path into brush to dodge out of my way (always safely), cicadas or crickets or something chirping up their chorus…
We have nothing but rabbits (and squirrels and chipmunks) around here where I live (medium-sized city but tons of green space, I live practically across the street from a 1200-acre nature preserve). I probably see dozens of rabbits a day … sadly for our gardens:) and the cicadas are the perpetual background noise everywhere you go all through July and August … I’m amazed that I was even able to notice these things enough to write a ku about them, they are like the air I breathe. But sometimes that’s what you need to notice the most.

Neat haiku!
Thanks, Lawrence.
