The Rabbit Hole of Answers
Wonderland challenge day 9 "Curious"
Are you ok?
❔
Appears to be
A yes or no question
A request
Residing in the realm
Of the binary
❔
When in fact
It is an
Exponentially expanding
Tunnel system
❔
Walls
Scrawled with a
Holographic ink
Painstakingly
Distilled from the
Drowning sea of
Oily tears
Spilled over every
Needling jab
Slipped right through
The keyhole with a
Drip, drip, drip
❔
A lateral inspection
Of Tone
Intent
-isms
Respect
❔
If another
Platitude dusted King
Sitting on a
Throne of
Syntactically frozen
Tree hung smiles
Singing obfuscated phrases
Delicately encrusted
With miles of spiraling
Disdain
— I’ll scream till I bleed
❔
Coppery twang still
Tingling on my lips
Like stripped twisting
Cedar twigs
Polished to a high gloss
Shine
Pulled from the Tulgey wood
Hung on a line
❔
Buffing out the evidence of
Every endured crime
Lingering on the precipice
Reality’s truth divined
Toppling laterally
Tripping through time
❔
Never fitting
Any given description
A fact obvious from the
Rancor in every
Exasperated breath
So I lay my weary
Head on the bouncing
Fungal bed
Counting splotches
Milky as a
Moonlit sheep
Until I transition
State to state
Waking to sleep
Cognizance to ignorance
Recollection to blank slate

I still haven't gotten any word back from Vocal. I will be reversing my plans. I will keep posting, though I unfortunately can't comment because I am only $5 away from being able to draw the money out of my wallet, If I can get one more top story I will feel a lot less upset about being pointlessly shut out of this platform. Thank everyone who has been commenting on my work. You are all fabulous humans, and I have been truly enjoying your delightful words as well.

Argento’s ninth (eighteenth in earth years) Birthday came and went Thursday, the thirteenth, and he’d already received his father’s gift, if you could call it that. You had to commit a fairly serious infraction to be cut off; the Arch-Baron was keeping up appearances and maintaining his own reputation as much as any sense of love or attachment to Argento with his “gift.”

The way you take the simple question "Are you ok?" and explode it into this sprawling emotional terrain is powerful. Good luck on getting your account fixed. It seems like there are several having the same issue. I guess it is a matter of time before we all have issues. The problem seems to be growing.
💙 Wonderful, poem, K.B. 🫂hugs I just want you to know, that I've been sending messages to Vocal on your and others' behalf. Hopefully, this will be resolved with the new week.
I hear you girl! So many of us have felt that weird ache of giving so much and getting silence back from Vocal. Keep posting, even if it feels like yelling into the void. Let’s get you that Top Story. 💖
This is beautifully written. Sorry to hear you have been having technical issues with vocal. I hope it is all sorted quickly 💗
Wow it just got better and better. My mind was blown when I read "Residing in the realm Of the binary" <3
