I'm dreaming or crazy

There were stitches up her leg
watching her walking slightly ahead
crossing the street as the skin slowly pulled apart at her seems
transfixing crimson drops
they would fall slowly I thought
 
I blinked
 
Just a tattoo nothing more
the blood was gone, I looked away
 
She turned the corner, I waited for the bus
I watched the edge of her skirt disappear around it
like the coat tails of the white rabbit
looking down, eyes closed
what would that be like...?
 
A rabbit in a waistcoat skirted the edges of my thoughts
the wind teased cool fingers at the back of my neck
 
Feels like flying doesn’t it…
 
A disembodied voice chipping away at my daydream
I ignore it, instead conjuring a hole under my feet just like Alice
 
What is? my voice answered for me
another chip breaking away
I started down the hole
 
The wind… when it blows like that it feels like flying
 
I wished the voice would leave
I wouldn’t know I’ve never flown…

Neither have I…

 
I could hear the voice smiling
a crack of light broke through my daydream
I turned away from it catching a glimpse of blue coat tails just around the corner
 
Why is it like flying then?
another chip…
 
Why isn’t it?
 
Go away I thought bitterly
the bodiless voice laughed softly
cool air teased my neck, back of my shoulders
I heard the bus pulling up to the stop
 
Be seeing you then?
 
My daydream crumbled away into reality
I opened my eyes still looking down
 
No…
the only answer
 
Hmm… that’s too bad
 
Another pause
I looked at the bus doors opening to admit me
 
Well goodbye then… Alice…
 
It was smiling again
I shivered, turning to put a face on the voice
Dress it in something more then the sound of its smiling
 
No one, I stood alone with the breeze kissing my skin and smiled a little
 
Goodbye… Cheshire cat
