Caterpillar Explains 2020 To Alice While In Wonderland 
By: Linda Imbler 

When pride, calculating, cheats outside a collective verse, 
the flooded commentary pops above the screaming words. 
A fossil steps across a scenario 
after the censorship emerges from this nervous wheel. 
When pride, calculating, cheats outside a collective verse.

The burst unjails every restrained wonder 
while loving brothers generalize their emptier childhood. 
The voice bans the creep's response. 
Every fairy will frown at the essence of our confidential lies. 
When pride, calculating, cheats outside a collective verse.
