Someday in Wonderland (Winter 2012)

My white rabbit, you disappeared down a black hole

Each night like Alice I chase you round my dreams,

You and your pocket watch.

You shouting to me, “Too late, too late!”

But one day, we all must follow

Down into that black abyss,

Into a slumber from which

We never reawaken.

And perhaps one day when its my turn

To disappear down that magic rabbit hole,

I can finally catch you and ask you the time.

And then perhaps you will no longer tell me I’m too late.
