TEAPOT

TEAPOT

below
everybody’s radar

a fabulous world
bunkering
at the bottom
of your
white rabbit hole

and
after a divinity of
fine tea in the
arms of such company

time to reset
boot up
    swipe
delete any virus
inconvenient program

waiting for
the bus of old age
who on Earth is
going to believe your story

the jury out
on whether the bus has
been missed, is late,
can
   be said to exist

that debate
still raging, if ever
so quietly,

the luxury of it all
every tea set fully furnished,
expertly laundered

no future as monolithic
on the horizon, on
any horizon, as that
presents us as star child

not wishing to moonshine you
Cheshire Cat or Caterpillar you

you my dear girl
        captured in this selfie
under the hat you
borrowed from
that mad
fellow

nothing in your sharp mind
going to change the heavy
metals in
    his system to
                     gold

who single-
handedly threw
tea pot into unknown
postal district
     this saucer into whole
new big bang aggrendisment
lurking in
galaxy not up
to us
to speak about

BRIEFING

BRIEFING

I gave a briefing
to the creatures
from Wonderland
lest they wrongly
assume our
Alice-rational world
be opposite
    in the extreme

for disappearing cats
and talking caterpillars
might here
        be a real rarity
we do have
  skies full of zinging
tic tacs
        bouncing around
at Mach Twenty-three

yes things interdimensional
or extraterrestrial
    craft manned and drone
with who
      knows what superior
artificial intelligence and
advanced personnel
technologies which
make us look
      like we barely out
of the Stone Age

I wonder what
      fantastic, Wonderlands rich
in characters

these brilliant beings
and their magical technologies
are not
      able to create to
      amuse their
                    ancient selves.
