Madness of March

March hares maddened, mocking—
Alice plunges down futile rabbit holes
Dreaming strange ways for untold days,
Never finding answers to her questions.
Essential, existential, torrential downpours of tears
Seemingly unrelated to caterpillars and caucuses
Slowly fading into distant cacophonous voices.

Observe the somniferous dormouse;
For what reason is there to awaken?

Madly morphing magic mushrooms collide
Amidst crackled glass reflections.
Riverbeds filled with vanishing water lilies,
Cleverly twisted idle rhyming tongues
Haunt Alice's withered dreams of yesterday.
