especially those which escaped the fatal knock out when the tempers ran high

Now they all sit in my memory

in cloud storage.

I watch them dreamily coming and taking a seat

hanging above me like guests at parties.

Françoise Dhulesia A good association between Alice In Wonderland and this scene! It did not strike me when I thought of this poem. A good one!.
