Sink

Alice brushes the hair off her face
We are reading fiction
Telling stories
Waiting
The powder courses through our veins
Never enough
Hatter smiles and waves
We drink coffee and eat cake
Drop pennies down the sink
Grapple for words
The radio plays
We brush the hair off our face
Take a break
Laugh in the night
We are reading fiction
Telling stories
All is calm
All is well.
