Foxes Should Know Their Place Poem by Rebecca Pepper

I would tell you the truth
But you like to play obtuse
Nothing outside of the rules
Just making use of all resources and tools
I like the games you play with their minds
Reminds me of a time I kept mine confined
Instead I let them run free, run away from me
Not my best decision but still I let them be
Because that is life, no one plays fair
But the sane no longer pretend to care
Whether you rip them apart or chain their heart
They seem so god damn confident you will fail
And any scars you leave will heal, pale
So they let their guards slip, bit by bit
And when they smile so carefree I let it finally hit
They've run free but now I’m bored
Thought you were the hunter so now you’re floored
For whom would I be if I let my prey think they’re weak?
No my dear, you are the game that my insanity now seeks
Run my little fox run for your life, the wolf is out to play
