When carrol was small: or, alice's adventures in the sanatorium.

"You have the brain of a very clever man, and the heart of a child."
                                      - one of lewis carrol's child friends.

So sick, as a telescope.
Or, just the right size
staring down the barrel of a rope.
Fingers greasy from McDonald's fries.
The sick age of abuse
the truth is he doesn't fit his shoes.
Like a vampire stealing life
he can't even cope with the truth.
That logic prevails, and to play with it is a joy.
"Who in the world am I, that's the great question?"
I will set demons loose
while deeming it fit
to teach you this lesson
With an off the coof quip.
"he is spooky as a person,
or I am losing my grip."
Yours sincerely, and independent
little girl. Who questions authority
(dangerous, questioning, claustrophobic).
