My Alice

Thomas W Case



In her deadly
blue eyes, I fall down the
rabbit hole.
Down
down
down I go.
I hit the
earth like a
mock turtle on its
back;
with a smack;
like a shot to the vein.
She travels through my
bloodstream with the
force of a mad tea party.
Her hair is dormouse soft.
I touch it, and feed
her tarts, as she
rides me like
a guillotine;
sharp and final,
with a purpose;
like a porpoise with a
fish hook in
its mouth.
I hold on tight
and never let go.

          You can beat an egg & a drum of course, but you can't beat fishing .. or a mock turtle on it's back .. well I suppose the latter is possible but a bit unfair .. Am actually grinning like a Cheshire cat here since I'm pretty sure I know the gall you are referring to L.C would be smiling too I bet .. Neville
