The Mad Hatter:

But a pregnant
Pause
Before shifting
Focus to the
Heady days of
Our younger years

It is NOT

To merely
Exist when
You long to
Spin and dance
And laugh
And shout
Cry tears
Of joy
Delirious on
Life and
Those mad hatters
We call friends
And who will
Always be friends
Even...
Even
When
They’re
