Kansas Flies By

feeling so loved
that he’s certain
should he fall
off the edge
of the earth,
no one would
note his absence.
they might search
for rabbit’s hole
if…they…do.

kansas flies by
and toto howls.
but alas nobody
listened to his
words, his voice
when he claimed
it would one-day
be his undoing.
what a shame,
never missed by
those he thought
loved him and
them he loved.

but no, not
so, finding out
much too late,
as the realities
edge raced up
and dumped him
into outer space.
major tom from
space control: stop!

that rabbit hole
turns out is
a deadly black-hole
silent, lonely, cold,
where by design
death is certain.

what a long
and solitary drop
to a place
with no bottom.
where is hell?
what is toto?
who is tin-man
or why rabbit?
inside of him.
he is his
oz of alice-land.
time to go.
