Hatter's Hare

My words have just been ramblin',

I left the rhyming state of mind.

The ace of spades is gamblin',

but the rabbit's now on time.

 

Elevator going down,

catching buses to the sound.

How do I know that I am late?

Time exists in spite of fate.

 

We're racing, now, against the clock

in circles, 'round the spokes.

I've forgotten how the ticking tocks,

for the gears have been long broke.

 

Darlin', won't you take my hand?

They're try'na pull you under and

together we can leave this land,

but you must know just where you stand.

 

-

 

This shortcut leads to trouble,

but you'll get there on the double.

Bad ideas, I've had a couple;

my shattered thoughts within the rubble.

 

Broken fragments of my mind,

my fate's aligning just in time.

To the past, I'm disinclined;

looking down an uphill climb.

 

-

 

You're sending me a message

about the faithfulness of love;

the white rabbit left me breathless,

I still don't know what you speak of.

 

"I chose you, please choose me, too?"

I'm running, but I don't know what to.

I've fallen down the rabbit's hole,

into a world without console.
