METAMORPHIC WORDPLAY
Glinda Reconfigured
The wings and glitter of real wizardry
I am not one for crowns
tall as top hats,
and while a frou-frou gown
orbiting my southern sphere
would so helpfully hide
my horizon-less hips,
fractals of flying monkeys emerge
from cumulonimbus poppies
populating my psyche
at the first ripple
