There is a girl who falls.
Not trips, not stumbles — *falls*, the long kind, the kind where you have time to notice the jam jars on the shelves going past, the kind where you wonder whether falling will ever stop being what you are doing.
She is curious. This is her only flaw and her only virtue. A white rabbit with a pocket watch and she is gone, she is *gone*, and the world she lands in is not a dream exactly — it's more like the feeling just before you remember what you were trying to say. Almost. Just almost.
Things there have opinions. The flowers will tell you what they think of you. The caterpillar sits in his smoke and asks *who are you*, and the terrible thing, the thing that makes your chest hollow out a little, is that you feel the question land somewhere it shouldn't. A girl of seven years and she doesn't know who she is anymore, whether she is still herself at all, whether a self is something you can misplace between one side of a door and another.
The Queen wants heads. The Cheshire Cat wants nothing, having long since transcended wanting. The Mad Hatter is having tea at six o'clock forever. Time stopped, you see. He offended it.
This could be a children's story.
It might be something else wearing a children's story's coat.
Carroll wrote it going upstream on a boat on a golden afternoon for a real girl named Alice, and you can feel that origin somewhere in it — something given, something warm, something that was already dissolving even as it was being made. The real Alice grew up. The one in the book is still falling.
That's the thing about it — you finish it and some part of the story keeps going without you. The flamingos used as croquet mallets. The Mock Turtle weeping over lessons. The trial that is not a trial. The ending that isn't quite one.
You might pick it up expecting nonsense and find that nonsense is, perhaps, just sense wearing its clothes inside out. You might find yourself agreeing with things you cannot paraphrase. You might find that a book about a girl in a strange land is also, quietly, tenderly, about the strangeness of being *anywhere at all* — of being a person, a size, a name, a set of rules you didn't write.
There is a door. It is very small. The key is on the table. The cake says *eat me*.
You already know what you'll do.
