TIMESTOPPER or A BREAK FROM REALITY

Alice down the rabbit hole
dreaming timely change,
fell upon the tabletop;
shapeshifters in range.

Biting biscuit to grow tall
no passage through Time’s door.
Sip elixir, shrink so small.
out the door, see what’s in store.

Alice on life’s checkerboard
moved to set things right;
pulled Time through the looking glass
to save her youthful sight.

Showered by the shattered bits,
timepiece and Alice fell,
scattered on life’s checkerboard
the remnants of Time’s spell.

Suddenly back under tree;
above, no one had told her:
it was all just a wild dream.
She woke, an hour older.
