The Rabbit Hole

And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you’re going to fall
Tell ’em a hookah-smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
//
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen’s off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Feed your head
From “White Rabbit”
– Jefferson Airplane
(Now, try reading again that without giving it Grace Slick’s tempoed build up to a scream.)
The rabbit hole
That does not exist
Are the imaginary portholes
Of the Big Bang Theory
Or In The Beginning
(Yes, this dead horse is well beaten)
It is what scientists
And theologians cling to
Tethering humanity
Against true freedom
Shackled in chains
Attached to nothing
For the sake of illusion
That to have purpose
One must have a “start”
In order to finish
When nothing could be
Further from the truth
Simply because infinity
Is too real to grasp
So stories are made up and
Theories are proposed
To quell insatiable questioning
Where are the existentialists
To show us there are no
Rabbit holes
“Insignificant events can take on monumental proportions when your head is full of practically nothing.”
— Grace Slick.
