Pena 
Her litle head clinking 
Like uh barrel of red velvet balls 
Full past noise 
Treats filled `er eyes 
Turning them yellow like enamel coated tacks 
Soft like butter hard not t` pour 
Out enjoying the sun while sitting on 
Uh turned on waffle iron 
Smoke billowing up from between her legs 
Made me vomit beautifully 
`n crush uh chandelier 
Fall on my stomach `n view her 
From uh thousand happened facets 
Liquid red salt ran over crystals 
I later band-aided the area 
Sighed 
Oh well it was worth it 
Pena pleased but sore from sitting 
Choose t` stub `er toe 
`n view the white pulps horribly large 
in their red pockets 
"I`m tired of playing baby," she explained 
`n out of uh blue felt box let escape 
One yellow butterfly the same size 
Its dropping were tiny green phosphorous wor 
ms That moved in tuck `n rolls that clacked 
`n whispered in their confinement 
Three little burnt scotch taped windows 
Several yards away 
Mouths open t` tongues that vibrated 
`n lost saliva 
Pena exclaimed, "That`s the raspberries."
