Chasing Alice
Go ask Alice
When she’s ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Go Ask Alice (Jefferson Airplane)
CHASING ALICE
down the rabbit hole
chasing Alice
i’d not ask her a thing
i’d notice
she’s ten feet tall
but no bigger than a twig
down the rabbit hole
a spiral
of psychedelic things
the queen of hearts
tea and tarts
down the rabbit hole
never hotter
a solid chill
she’s not the center
of the universe
down the rabbit hole
i glimpse her blue dress
her youthful blond hair
tumbling
into space
down the rabbit hole
when will this race
end
when will i ascend
she never will
she’s downing pills
down the rabbit hole
i rub my eyes
i’m seeing things
my eyes open
i’m in bed
i step out
and fall
back in
