When you go backwards that,"Good bye ", really is the "Hello", and the start of something amazing .
To work a song backwards is the same somehow because the last chorus is the first and it loops,
To read the last page first before you have read the beginning is cheating,you know how it ends.
The excitement is now on how the story reached that last page ending, that becomes the juicy bit.
As a reader you wish to get your teeth into this delicious dreaming to chew up those words,
Those ideas, amazing thoughts that writers slave over year after year sometimes, their whole lifetime.
Yes the lifetime writers and that neverending story of practice and practice polishing that jewel
until it is unrecognizable as the story that you began with, a morphed imaginings that now sits.
Like a lost unknown that is a nothing in a nothing place like Alice growing small to a beetle size
Then once again expanding to a giant towering over her own imagined world of Wonderland.
Your beloved story now morphed to a beetle and can no longer have an existence
because it has lost its essence, the sweet innocence of true childhood story a fantasy.
A drugged trip of a teen seen as depraved and destroyed from our reality of the real world
We do not want Alice to just be in that imagined place down that rabbit hole but de-stroy-ed
No known world would have all these surreal things of dreams as white roses painted red
By little hands instead we just see a girl tripping on acid instead, as she morphs in tune
with what she drinks or eats just because it tells her too --- who would do that really ?
But the beauty of the world and the words used doubt of double doubt is lost now.
For the brilliance of poems, rhymes and even old songs weaved within those story lines
I for one no longer care if it was a drug experience or not because the words worked the magic spell
And pulled me into that world even now as I read the last chapters first as I backwards tread well
Seeing everything in slow motion before my eyes flying away then settling into the page
Turning and re-establishing what once was beheaded is now whole and living breathing alive.
Even our Alice seems innocent of any crime and as for the Knave of hearts , the tarts are now whole.
The repeated themes are now easily seen as the pattern of what once had been read is re ingested
Re enjoyed and laughed over at the residual of the backwards story runs its full appeal
Its the enjoyment of recoil and rewind a backwards movietime in slow motion
as reading slows you down in this world of fast forward breakneck speed.
Try it out and see for yourselves what a backwards read would do for you
And your imagined world running around in your head--- backwards
Now there is a trip with out the drug induced which can rot your brains
The ICE of our times killing our youth wreaking the world for greed
I plead to you try and read instead of burning holes in your brains with weed
Or whatever else is out there to destroy your own precious wonderful world
where the jabberwocky wins every time killing the innocent mind. and that is a crime.
Find your own story plain and tell the world how you won the precious gift of all, "your life and times."

Backwards Alice.
PoezieHere I will work backwards through Alice in Wonderland so I can at least write about those things I missed the first time round. Also, having the Adventures rolled out like a film being played backwards may just bring with it a few amazing surprises...
