that gave birth to an anger
that fights, tooth and nail,
for my future,

my freedom,
and my Wile E. Coyote plots to escape it?


I like that it evokes thought (as was said before).

wild guesses about the meaning:
the rabbit growing up too slowly..
hmm but authentic rabbits grow up pretty fast.. so if you slow the process down too much you´d produce some monster-rabbit (the elephant? metaphor for over-thinking?).
so.. no, stay the road runner, feels the more authentic reaction to fighting or fleeing anger.
