i can't find my ruby slippers

by Mary Frances Spencer

i kicked 'em off
in the poppy field
high and tripping
in technicolor

wondering if
this yellow brick journey
hallucinates flying monkeys
magical witches
everything greener at the end

or do we
end up in black and white
frames
where we used to be happy?

Author's Note: I wrote this today at a workshop with the prompt of "a twist on a movie"....fun to have to come up with something in 20 minutes!!! Really forces the muse... MFS
