Terry Lowenstein

in the year 2150

the great debate
a forgotten footnote

the scale of the universe
calculated and measured

as students categorize
details of cosmic order

transcend borders
of nonexistence

alice searches yet
for the rabbit

rumor has it he escaped
long ago down a black hole




filaments of time, a wash in future days

beyond the rabbit hole
the hourglass shifts

gossamer threads
clothespinned dreams

line dry above
unseen particles of sand

the walrus and the carpenter
long vanished from the scene

so we are left to wonder
why the red queen is so mean
