Down the Hole
Today's muse: Thursday Thunks
Yeah, I know. Today is Monday. Whataya gonna do about it?
Cut me some slack. I just found this muse.
Prompt #2:
Sometimes we want to grow wings and fly. What's the farthest you've fallen?

Down the Hole
Vignettes rush by, faster and faster, as I freefall. A few talkies, but most are silent. Soundless mouths flapping.
It’s not a film that will win an Oscar, or even be nominated, so dreary are these scenes. I will never stand before the crowd holding the heavy statuette, droning on like a winner for best Trumpet Editing, unaware that no one really gives a shit.
I no longer want to be Alice. Let the Queen take my head. I’m already late for my date and I know I will be punished.
I wonder if the bottom will break this rabbit's fall.

i have no idea what any of that meant but i love these lines (they would make awesome song lyrics!)

@LF: I think it would be an LSD rock ballad. No one else would understand it otherwise.
i read it,, and i get it,, but do you ever wonder if what ya get ain't it? I think so, whadda ya think?
Well, they say that the Disney movie synchs perfectly with Dark Side of the Moon, so inspiring an LSD rock ballad is not too far out there...
Rabbits are soft. You'll bounce. ;-)
@glnroz: I always wonder!
@Mama Zen: Thanks, Mama!
@LF: Cartoons aren't just for kids anymore.
@Fireblossom: I sure hope so!
I love the slightly psychadelic twist on it - and as the others said, I think this would make great lyrics!
Love it and breaking the rabbits fall...that is a great take on this tale...hope you do not loose your head....bkm
Clever. I'm breathless.
Painful. Lost. Yet engaging. And very sad.
