When Alice on the old yellow brick road 
spots the green honeycreeper in the birch, 
she considers her social friendliness 
with knights and holy friars in misty woods 
to be adscititious when she arrives 
at museum of artful anecdotes. 

While staring at strange painting on the wall 
that depicts young woman by mountain lake 
roasting the serpent on altar of gems, 
she removes adscititious influences 
not inherent to significant form 
to experience pure aesthetic emotion. 

Stripped of extraneous components of truth, 
Alice considers why the dodo bird 
represents regal imperial ambition 
as key aspect of fate which constitutes 
essential nature of the divine mind 
eager to concoct new insight in faith. 

Hitchhiking to the Alleghany woods 
with innocent ambition to attend 
annual rainbow gathering of the tribes, 
Alice ignores the Tin Man in the van 
who offers her free ride to paradise, 
but calls her whore and speeds on down the road. 

Emerging from great forest of sad ghosts, 
Boedvar Bjarki, wearing long bear-skin cape, 
offers young hippie girl in flower dress 
berries he collected by sparkling stream, 
then plays guitar and sings Swedish folk songs 
while rainbow children dance around the fire. 

Entranced by swirling scent of jasmine blooms, 
Alice dances with slow sensuous concern, 
floating in bliss on fairy wings of faith 
from strange intoxicating thoughts of love 
that swell her heart till swan wings of desire 
sprout from unseen wounds of her abused heart. 

When the Tin Man, in jeans and scruffy beard, 
tries to dance with too intimately with Alice, 
Dorothy urges the Cowardly Lion 
to protect her friend from the predator, 
but the Jester King smashes the dream clock, 
causing all illusions to dissipate. 

When Boedvar asks Alice to marry him, 
she conjures Tiresias with Rod of Aaron 
who officiates their wedding ceremony 
under the full moon by the mountain lake, 
with Dorothy, Lucy Pevensie, Wendy, 
Caroline, and Chihiro as bridesmaids.
