I figured us out
When I was naming my skate board
"Alice"
I said
"No"
He says
"Mine is after Alice in Chains"
Mine is after Alice in wonderland
Young
Naive little Alice
I too have been down that rabbit hole
I too have swum
Through that sea of tears
That beautiful disaster
Why is everything pretty
Just a ploy
To cover up the ugly
Just to keep
cover girl kosher
Don't worry
She looked pretty when we slaughtered her imagination
She was flawless
When we tore that
Blue silk dress to shreds
Poor little Alice.
I'm beginning to wonder
If you are more in chains
Than you are
In wonderland
