IN AN “OBTUSIVE” WONDERLAND

LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO A WORD I JUST CREATED….

Not obtrusive,

Not obtuse

OBTUSIVE-

It’s obtusive, my energy. (90-180)

Speedy, slicing thin, calculating

Clashes of speech, next to weird

Triangles with noses and glasses

That live in Wonderland with Alice

It’s so hard to comprehend.

And I don’t want to intrude

Or to somehow seem rude

But may I ask

What the fuck

“Obtusive”

means?!

How this

looks

Like

It’s

Upside

Down

It seems

It’s all

a strange

dream…

are we

Right side up

Or upside

down?

Did you see

The white

Rabbit there?

Or did you

Drown?

When will they

Come around?
