curiouser

we are the kids

outside

the looking glass,

the ones

whose mirrors

shattered

before

we could dream

we are the kids

outside

the looking glass,

the ones

whose stories

ended

before

we could read

we are the kids

outside

the looking glass,

the ones

whose pens

bled

before

we could write

we are the kids

outside

the looking glass,

the ones

whose spirits

fell

before

we could fight.
