Alice Would Not Have Made it Out of the Hole Without Help From Her Friends
You show up
Blowing smoke rings
And making light in the dark
Like my all-knowing caterpillar,
Full
Of intelligent euphemisms
Cleverly
Designed
To make a Type-A Class-1 White Girl named Alice
Forget you’re a bug
And think you’re a butterfly.
I have found the answer to “Who am I?”
It is when I realize
How funny it is
- That I can’t find my teacup -
That I suddenly need
To get out of this car -
Telling myself I must be
In a dream.
We say Goodbye.
Now I am alone with the answer to “Who am I”,
But it is the question(er)
That makes the answer exist.
