the jungle backyard

north of tulsa

hidden behind McDonalds

a looking glass

for seeing into

Mary Jane's boudoir

but beware traveler

of the prickles

on my porch

you might not

keep your balloons

full of air

because floppy balloons

pricked by prickles

smell of cabbage

emanating from orifices

or new openings

spewing forth froth

amidst the gas

please don't inhale

to avoid extinction

and much worse

to live instead

with ripe starkerbarks

eat with care
