My mother wakes me in the morning with a smile, I wake up refreshed, I walk down the carpeted stairs, where my father cooks breakfast, he tells me good morning, And everything is bathed in a golden light. I sit down at the table, and my brother pours me orange juice, my little sister babbles, and the lamp starts to look weird. My dream is stolen by reality, I wake up in my room, my alarm rings at 5am, I sit up, exhausted, to turn it off before my mother gets upset. At school I see my only friend, but I also see that **** white rabbit, standing behind her, pointing at his clock, that's running out of time.

The Lamp in My Dreams, and The Rabbit in My Life
I danced around the willow tree, creating cloud shapes from my fantasy. When a white rabbit brushes past my ankle, he carried a gold watch—odd—it clinked as he ran. “I’m late! I’m late! for a very important date!” he shrieked. I laughed, a rabbit? a gold watch? How absurd. He saw me, pausing like I’d ruined the script, and bolted away into a hole. And I followed, because what else do you do when curiosity sings? It was no hole indeed, a cassette channel surfing. The fall was painless, oddly confusing. Time bent sideways, logic’s refusing. Clocks—just like the rabbit’s—ticking too loud. Just like my brain. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock. Which timezone, or timeline? Maybe a countdown. Who knows. Mirrors bloomed in the dark like wildflowers, All I could see was versions of me, in colors, in patterns, inside out, outside in. Each mirror shattered when I stared too long. Each shatter revealed a door with different dates, like an apartment number. I observed my reflection—finally, a normal mirror. But her eyes turned blood red, the glass breaking into laughter. Another door. I stepped through anyway, into the complex world that I am. The ground was a chessboard. The pieces were off. Pawns as people I’ve met. The queen is humming a melody only I know. The sky was a sunset of words of art I’d scribble. Spelling names I’d long forgotten. Seconds felt like minutes, minutes like hours. Alas, I met the rabbit after an eternity. He was still in the late panic, “late for what?” I pressed. His ears bent like a curtain, stepping sideways, There she was, the queen of hearts, waiting for me. her smile too wide, too eerie. “There you are!’ she exclaimed. Teapots and teacups floating, with wings of butterflies. An odd teacup met me. The tea with the glitter of the galaxies. “Drink.” She mouthed. Her eyes held a sharp glimmer. I couldn’t determine if it was an offer or a command. Instead of sugar, it was stardust. And for the tea, the shimmer called, like a hymn. Soul-glitter. Thick like my blood. Bright as my marrow. It was me, reduced to a cup. The gears in my brain shifted, just like the rabbit’s clock. Perhaps, to know myself. I must swallow myself whole.

I'm busy busy busy I'm late I'm late I'm late I've got to meet a rabbit I've got to meet my fate For if you trip and stumble And take a long long fall You might take some comfort In the writing on the wall It says the cakes a lie! The roses never were red! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! The last words that they said There's no time for fantasy The world's out of hand Visit Alice another time Curse that wonderland We're living in the matrix Dot dash, dot dot dot dash We just have to accept it As we wait for it to crash One foot in and one foot out Abstractify, you lazy lout Yes, I'm sure reality's an illusion But I can't afford to live in confusion

Chasing Rabbits
he's always in a hurry terrified to die he wants to be everywhere in the shortest amount of time the eyes always on his watch                        tick tack - tick tack never sitting still always in motion not stopping, not breathing his life is running out of time

the white rabbit
My chest compressed, I can not breath And everything around me bleeds Trapped in the rabbit hole Where no one's supposed to go I think me and the Mad Hatter will get along splendidly We climbed into the tea *** boat and sail the crystal sea And dine upon the walrus hide We just can not be denied Oh what fun we had sunning on the shore All the clams gather round us,we was so adored Oh look over yonder there is a door Well Mad Hatter I've got to go but I shall be back If I have to put that rabbit in a sack To make him bring me to this wonderful place that I adore The Mad Hatter looked at me sadly, don't open up that door Your being silly I won't stay gone long But something was very wrong I opened it quickly And what I saw made me sickly For behide that forbidden door In a pool of my own blood I was lying on the floor

Rabbit Hole
So I went down the rabbit hole thinking I was following you, my love They would have said it was Mad that's why I didn't tell anyone that the living room table & house was divided into different countries America at the helm Germany, Britain and Russia as I stood in my chequered coat for days on end, crying believing people thought I was Stalin or else, a diplomat about to be killed & M&S; tea, the package being red & black made me think of communism ( red) & fascism ( black) & though being neither I wanted to promptly order my mother to spread it amongst the people then realized the irony of this & refrained instead, asking her why she was sending signals to the neighbors by putting the kettle on whilst praying for all the believers in and of True Love True Love, salvation & fury debased by them on purpose, I thought ' Erotomaniac' what? Simply for wanting to have hope? Believing in romance? And you, who rejected me you'll never know Wonderland all you saw was a rabbit hole, darkness & dirt & it's true, it all just turned into barbed wire & Angels singing, locked up little pills at bedtime fear, my only crime & yet for a while before that the world shone & I don't know how to talk about that it's just that I thought every person I met would lead me to your door that all the songs in the world were sung for me & that all your poetry was a declaration of love just waiting to happen

Do you believe in white rabbits
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.
