“Off with her head!”
Mad Queen declares
No rivals allowed.

Yet reading the lines
Or between

Tells me even Alice
Would be the only one

No mad tea party
Makes the mirror images
Different

But once we have jumped
Through the hole
Our reflections
change

A carol to Carrol?
A through the hoop jump backwards?
A mirror laying on the ground,
unsmashed in one piece?

I like being asked questions by a poem.

Ah....just a play on how we make choices..and how viewpoints we think unsavory oft become our own if the mirror is turned around..
a snippet actually written some time ago in a poetic reply to someone...and edited a bit for posting here.

"...they never executes nobody, you know?"

Been picking at Carroll lately, here and there. This was a nice reflection.

Thanks Ed...
Carol is such a ripe metaphor to exploit when talking about so many things and wanting to add a tinge of the sanely insane to a thought..
