Understanding Alice

When Alice wept

Her tears threatened to drown the whole world

Was it from her giant size

Or the size of her grief?

I weep and feel puddles form beneath my feet

But my world won't wash away

The flotsam floats upward

Easier to see

More tears

More clarity

Less escape

How long can I tread water

Did Noah recognize the rain as rain

Or as tears

Sadness or anger

World destruction

Brings peace in the end
