GERTRUDE STEIN'S QUEST
you looked to words
for relief
in those pre war years
to politicians
controlling the masses
to make a magician's peace
at least you had a rose
is a rose
and Alice
away in your palace
of fearful imagination
away from your pre-
occupation, logicians,
and disbelief
imposing what passes
as a pose
on a wonderland world
through rose colored
looking glasses.
