The Card


There I waited

By the rabbit hole

Waiting

 

But the white rabbit never came

It was probably late

For a date much more important than me

 

And for a second

I lost hope

And thought perhaps it was a snake hole

 

Perhaps a snake would slither out

And bite me

And I would die waiting for that rabbit

 

It gave me a new hope

An ending to my suffering

So I waited

 

But the snake never came

It was probably out

Poisoning beings much more tempting than me

 

This labyrinth of suffering

Would unravel before me

If I could know that you are suffering with me too
