Kandinsky’s Dot Meets the Red Queen

                 Everything starts from a dot —Kandinsky

Dot. Everything starts with me.

Red Queen. Even your end, I should think,
which may be sooner than you think,
if I’ve anything to do with it.

Dot. You’ve no right to threaten me!

Red Queen. Right? Right! Left to my own devices,
of which I‘ve many, then no more dot.
No dot. No starting. Just ending. My favorite!

Dot. You can’t be serious.

Red Queen. Well I can be anything I want, even a dot!

Dot. I don’t see how that’s possible.

Red Queen. No fun only seeing the possible. The impossible
is so much more interesting.

Dot. That’s nonsense.

Red Queen. Of course! Everything starts from nonsense you know.
You might say, but I will say, nonsense is a dot.
