She had it all laid out perfectly;
her silver wings would be destroyed,
she'd cut off the scars,
one by one
and place them in a potpourri jar.
Her hair would continue
to fall off.
In her head
Jack and Jill had no thrill.
Alice got lost in Wonderland.
Little Red Riding Hood and Goldie Lox...
well, that's an even sadder tale.
& everything would've gone fine
if she had
forgotten
that she could not demolish
hope.
