Revised (6/13/11)

Symphony Fantastique

As the minor key is struck
I have solved the Hatter's riddle,
Peered behind the curtain,
Viewed the void that waits
For those tripping blithely
Toward the grinning maw.

Machine-like, you chew through them.
Blood
And bone
And sinew.

"I will make you whole!"
Screams the merry sign outside
Your leer a warming grin beneath it.

Viewed in reverse, as I creep from your lair,
I have made your promise true.

  2. Something along the lines of "RUN!"

  3. But, if Johnny Depp is the Hatter, I don't want to run, unless it's into his arms.
