Alice in Love

I began to doubt my one true love.

In the meantime, time kept meanly
serving all the meals on a cleft plate.

So suddenly I forgot the names of all those gathered,
except yours.

You stuck in my diphthong, you dirty Mathematician,
                                                  you cubist Beautician.

Bathe me in your clubfoot tub.
I am forever stupid for your country.
