Personalities of Alice
PERSONALITIES OF ALICE
Alice peaks out through the hole she dug
Alice sneaks out through the hole she dug
And so forth
Always spying from underneath her fairytale gown
Magic bunnies were spun into her snow white skirt
Stitches always multiplying
She tried to show her tutor the trick
On the blackboard
On the whiteboard
Both equally unravel
Never adding up
Nor dividing myth
Redwood Alice touches the sky
Oblivious to life below
She tastes snow white cold on her tongue
Dramatic Alice handles opera glasses
Alice the mouse quivers inside her bowels
Because she’s bored
Alice flips cards
Displeasure of the Queen of Hearts
Too late to shuffle the deck
Bunnies flee
Skirt turns black
Redness squelches the air
“Well...well...well! What do we have here?”
“Off with her heads!”
The queen calls for banquet platters.
Rabbits ready to call the exact time of their deaths.
Timepiece swings like a sharp pendulum.
The queen is heartless.
The great redwood curtain falls.
Alice wakes up from her wonderland dream
Alice startled from her wonderland dream
And so forth
