Wonderland

Like Alice, I was curious and went through the rabbit hole. Expecting to find a white rabbit welcoming me, in Wonderland. Instead, something that looks like one said hello. Wearing a dress with all the colors of the rainbow. I said, Hello sir can you please take me to Madhatter for tea? Very angry he stomped his foot and told me, “I am not a “He” but a “She” you are in the land of the free.” “Everything goes except Christianity.” Oh, I said that is sad but can you still take me? I followed him and we stop at an old oak tree, Where a table was set with delicious cakes and tea. I saw a big flower hat and a man at the opposite end. Dressed in chiffon with high heels and lipstick, I was welcomed by she/him, sorry I said I am confused. Who are you? “Silly girl”, he said can’t you see I am non-binary? During the day I can be a he or she and even they. “Get into the program if you want to stay,” Oh, no I am only a visitor for the day, I said I was looking for Cat in the Hat. “At the palace of the king of spades, You are still known as the queen of hearts, Cat lives with Humpty Dumpty who is her sweetheart.” Very surprised I was stopped by men dressed in black, Short skirts, black stockings, and stiletto boots. “Off with her head, off with her head”, they all said. “She is one of them who say Jesus is her King.” Then I woke up from this horrible dream.
