Tea time for Alice May 5, 2014

  

Everything is a dream, a mist that drifts over this vague landscape, exposing things at odd moments, just not all at once, or all we need to see, the places, part of a dreamscape we revisit again and again at night, never real enough, often a tease, like a sad Alice stopping briefly for a bit of tea, unable to make sense of what she sees, when she meets those who take tea with her, and so, she moves on from this seat at the table to the next, hoping the tea will taste better, or the view might bring her Joy, nothing she sees adding any detail to the dream, nothing to part the mist she strolls through, or explain how big she seems at times, or small, as she sneaks through keyholes into places she was never meant to be, all of it too vague, too unreal, and yet at the end of the day, it is also all she has, and might have to live with
