Whatever Happened to the Cheshire Cat?

There is a darkness in this play

Words and rhythm

Lead me down the wrong rabbit hole

Wounderland has scars I don’t remember

Alice doesn’t look quite right anymore

None of this world smells familiar

Pluck out my eyes rather than sully childhood’s memory

Nonsense seemed much funnier as a youngling

The need for sense and meaning burrow into my self

Slipping slick tendrils around my brain stem

I dance to their logical beats of

Meaning and direction

Purpose finds a perch on my shoulder as we walk

Slowly back through the looking glass

Too certain too look behind

I slip into the warm embrace of the

Madd Hatter’s 9-5 logic
