in the land of altered bodies/ i have green beans for legs

in the land of altered bodies
i have green beans for legs
arms of cinnamon sticks

royal jelly torso
mashed potato gravy hair
nuts for fingers & candy eyes

while i sonorously speak
you may admire my
fondant clothes

we'll wander along
under the asparagus trees
or on spun sugar shore

the lemon drop sun
shines above in peppermint
and blueberry skies

have you been to
cookie dough heights
or to the bottom
of an orange jelly sea?

at 3 o'clock
the ginger rooster crows
and we'll have our sumptuous tea
