How do you catch the blue rabbit? Carrots and lettuce won’t get near him. Questions. The blue rabbit is interested in questions.

A friend of mine who lives in the US sends me extraordinary things through the mail. Once she sent a battery-operated baby Mickey-Mouse in a heavy duty clear plastic freezer bag, a well crafted noose snug around baby Mickey’s neck. The batteries powered Mickey’s inner workings, allowing him to jerk his arms and legs in a grotesque rendering of how lovely human babies will move their limbs about while gurgling on their backs. I hung him from a bedroom doorknob and when the door swung Mickey knocked gently against it setting off the arms and legs. You may say I am alarmist, extremist or both but I contend that Mickey – let’s call him Sticky – is a Trojan horse.

Recently my friend sent an envelope full of gems including a bumper sticker which reads : “HONK IF YOU DON’T EXIST”. It is especially fitting as I have never acquired a driver’s license nor aspired to own a car. The sticker is perched on a narrow ledge above a closet door in my office. There is no one to credit with this zen koan, nothing else printed on the sticker. The author answers well.
