The Mad Hatter


Abstract.
 
I feel as though all I am is all that is abstract. That everything that seems to be, merely 
 
isn’t. So...everything that was, has never been? Or was everything that was, was, but I 
 
chose to see it as something that it wasn’t? Was everything that was wrong really right?
 
Right. Right is left and left is write? Writing, I sit here writing, reading a story that isn’t a 
 
story at all.
 
Compelling, this telling of a tale is
 
but did you know....
 
Many have heard those tell of tales,
 
but I have heard those tale of tells. 
 
Why me? Go ahead and ask and you’ll see. 
 
Oh my, I would gladly tell, but I haven’t the time you see.
 
I keep time, but time seems to keep me. 
 
All is all, or has all always been just me?
 
Let me introduce myself...
 
Or have you already met me?
