o how the rabbit hole has changed

o how the rabbit hole has changed

A Poem by speakingcolors

i'm slipping in and out of consciousness,

unable To distinguisH bEtween

 

my thoughts and spoken woRds,

my dEsires and acTions.

a man jUst asked me a question,

foR the time.

12:02.

he looks at me fuNny and flies away.

 

but i don't know if he really was There

and i didn't answer him,

Or if he wasn't there

 

and i really did ansWer.

Or was it both

or was it Neither.

but i must be going,

i am to meet the rabbit at 6:00.

soon i'm having tea

with the walrus anD thE cat.

and though it is too late,

i give them my name.

moRning i say

and they say aLice.

but they're wrong;

thAt was my mother's Name.

i wonDer where the hat has gone,

 

THe mouse,

the haRe,

and carpenter.

the cat burps

and the hat finally went tO his head.

the hare switched jobs,

which is why the moon and paws

no longer go hand in hand.

and the carpenter,

well, we don't know where he went.

after wishing them goodbye

in a very Unbirthday way,

i continued through a keyhole,

which was a bit tiGHter than i was told.

 

but i mAde it through

with the help from the brothers tweedle.

dum, who had siNce gOT His dEgRee

 

and dee, who had the button all along.

I had scarcly had tiMe to thAnk them

when the flowers beGan to apologIze.

we talked for awhile

aNd they were just jeAlous.

of whaT?

of the mushroom of course.

but It was gONe now,

 

and so Was thEir jeaLousy.

i didn't see the Caterpillar

but they reminded me

he had turned intO a butterfly

and had switched froM hookah to hash.

but 6:00 was coming fast

so i took my lEave.

 

i met the royal family in passing.

The queen Of hearts was now of spades

 

and had hit Menopause three Years earlier

 

and the king Was a king fOr sure.

but it was all iN passing,

they haD croquEt to play

and i was meeting the white Rabbit.

when i finaLly mAde it to the beginNing,

i forgot what i was Doing there,

 

doing here.

and as i slipped in and out of consciousness,

i realized that it was getting late

in the evening,

and it was time for me to wake.

I have to say that this was one of the coolest things I have read in awhile

My fav has to be: I met the royal family in passing.
The queen Of hearts was now of spades
and had hit Menopause three Years earlier

sorry for the random read hah. BUT it was just really cool =]

oh my god this is so great. i love the twist on events that had happened in alice in wonderland, and how you made them your own. plus i tried to figure out what the capital letters were spelling out:

the return to wonderland through another imagination welcome to my wonderland

AWESOME
