Pushed away: Rabbit (I)

If I did well, it would look like I'd left.

It stays under its own ceiling, uninvolved, uncontributing, deliberately unremarkable, because rising would register back home as desertion. The programme was installed by mothering whose warmth was conditional on nobody going far, which welded loyalty and smallness into a single gesture. What it asks for is to test whether the family actually collapses when one person outgrows it.

The Archetypal Form

It echoes Bharata, who would not sit on the throne that was his and governed from a hut with his brother's sandals on the seat, keeping the place deliberately empty. The form implies a task: to ask who is actually served by the seat staying empty.
