Alice
She grows, she shrinks
She grows, she shrinks--
Everything is much too big:
these injustices
breaches of decency
time and bodies and want
Except that which is too small:
knowledge, vision, hope
the life of the poor
time and bodies and want
She grows, she shrinks
She is too big, she is too small--
Life hurts so much,
But it's still beautiful.
