Two Days Slow

falling down
a rabbit's hole
with my arms strapped to my sides,
my shoes scrape the dirt around me
and I cough as my lungs seize.
I keep falling down-about
but the floor stretches out beneath me-
that checkerboard-faced cobblestone
never seems to greet me.
I'm trapped in this confusion
and I can't tell which way is North,
but I squeeze my eyes shut
and hope that this will

all just simply go.

Author's Note

sort of Alice in Wonderland-esque, but not.

title from when the Mad Hatter and March Hare try to "fix" the White Rabbit's watch in the Disney version.

I really like this. The first half especially. With those last two lines it feels like the word will should be moved like this
'and hope that this will
all just simply go.' It's just one word and it doesn't really matter, but sounds better to me that way. You've always had a way with words, it's nice to read something new
