Thank God. I made it past the minute hand. It's after 10 and my soul is black as midnight. The snake hair girl never showed. It seems I'm always lost in wonderland. Up is down. The Red Queen holds court. I drink the best I can to stupid. We roar with laughter at stories told by Korky. We feast. We sing and candles blown out. I sleep in a cold bed dreaming warm of snake hair.
