Freedom is what I have
And what I do not have
Yes, I am free from the chains of the world
I am flying freely
Defying that thing called "gravity"
But as I float upwards
As I watch the people below
As I touch the clouds with my fingertips
I am a hunter shot down by my own arrow
I am not free
I am a bird with injured wings
And bloated pride
I am an angel without a halo
I am a thunder clap roaring within myself
"I am not free"
A sentence that never seems to stop ringing in my ears
I am trapped in my own labyrinth
My skin exposed
My flesh raw
Blood and words oozing in my eyes
The truth breaking free from the brittle bones I have kept it in

Literature
kids cut through the middle
when you spend a summer somewhere
where people squirrel away their
ugly children, it's hard not to notice
the subtle strain of the truth
on certain smarter faces,
or the absolute oblivion
in certain spinning eyes
and stumbling legs.

i met a girl named K,
just K,
with ankles like a deer and a voice
loud like noise and swampy like a swamp.
she liked orange foods and big words and
her hands shook like the girls in jazz class.
K clicked her tongue between words sometimes
but nobody ever mentioned it. her socks
were alphabetized. she carried a comb in her back pocket
but only 'cause she needed it, she said.
her hair was turning

Published in 1865, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is celebrating its 150th Anniversary this year.

Her trip to Wonderland is quite well known around the world. What is less well known is Lewis Carroll’s (whose real name was Charles Dodgson) inspiration for the story.
