Sister nothing,
the book is Alice
considering her own
daisy-chain trouble
the waistcoat-pocket world found suddenly,
a moment falling,
the deep, slowly coming dark.
See:
maps and pictures, pegs,
orange disappointment,
jar of killing somebody,
cupboards of tumbling down stairs,
earth, Longitude, Latitude.
Words to fall through,
fancy air.
Think girl, never ask.
I see it written.

an erasure poem, taken from the first page of Alice in Wonderland
