Alice

A Poem by Ethan Richards
"

A Lewis Carroll inspired bit of prose.

"
Some say I'm crazy; mad as a hatter.
I feel down this hole and can't find a ladder.
Tangled up with Alice, but I couldn't have her.
It is no matter; it's the rabbit I'm after.

I'm lingering in a fantasy like a sly cat smile. 
Wounded in a daydream with a world to inspire.
I've tried it all with Alice; a caterpillars pyre.
It is no matter; I don't want an empire.

This trail I walk illusions, a mock reality.
Fifty-one and marching, marching haphazardly.
I've tried it all with Alice, but she don't trust the queen.
It is no matter; I'm on to the next scene.

Jabberwocky, Jabberwocky. Do you exist? 
I've never read about you. Are you a twist?
I hear you're after Alice; Do you think she's a pest?
It is no matter; I'm on to the next. 

Some say I'm crazy. Mad is my state.
I feel down this hole and created my fate. 
Tangled up with Alice, but we couldn't relate.
I got a date with the rabbit and I'm already late.
