meta-Rabbit crashing Arthur Rackham! run! ('ccompanying poem-a-day 'llustrations)



45. June 16, 2010 (wed.)

i dreamt the White Queen tried to grope me, a toffee
-sticky change purse, a linty bribe i didn't recognize
in the morning, there was proof. My shrink should

wear a fez, and be more caterpillar-ly
when he wonders if it's black knave humour,
a spoked wheel joke gone too far. Who are you,

lost Jew in sandals with cut-out cathedral windows
wandering the 'hood behind the Christian Science
reflecting pool, finding my way to Chapter 12,

Alice's Evidence read-through in Mary of the pink
guitar's basement music studio. i can't help but finish
my Buddhaccessory drawing while white rabbit

-ing, petting imaginary riverbed trees' leaves
out of Mali-- Malice's hair. All persons more than a mile
high and not in an implied (mimed) Burger King crown

must leave the court room. At home i pack
anything that will match my white fur
and my missing whiskers, attach a jingling

clock face to my estate sale pearls.
Realize the neurotic timepiece-keeper
gibbering the evidence in verse suits me
far more than i ever realized, red mary jane
in one hand, the other rubbing tired pink eyes.
