Red Pill and Blue Pill

Red Pill and Blue Pill
Laijon Liu 20150202

I swallowed the red pill, and I saw Alice
float facedown in lime spring river
her blond hair and pink polkadot skirt 
covered by rose petals and blood
slowly disperse in the tear ripples

I swallowed the blue pill, and I saw Alice
chase a black-suit rabbit, and fall down 
into a black hole, infinite gold light-rays
swirl, myriad pink distorted oval balloons
and her bell laughter forever echo 

It was a bored drowsy afternoon
on the riverbank I saw Alice and her sister
they were fishing and catching butterflies
by accident I tripped over, by accident
my shotgun discharged.
