California kitchen
Sugar cubes
in round ceramic dish
—pinkish w/dark green leaves
domed lid on top
cherry red ball its handle
In the kitchen
the Hatter must be near
Triangular people drink tea—
talk of Alice suggestively
passing the dish
from one
to the next
Outside the sunshine
enters the inside—
the chatter changing
of going Underground
—not to mention
all the Things
they’ll be taking with them
here & beyond
december two thousand twenty-two
