My next birthday Will be a Ten Day HulaThon! We will shriek our cackles So that our heads turn inside out Like jelly doughnuts. Lei, check. Feathered poison darts, check. Tattooed drums made With the skin of the voodoo Princess, Check. Painted satsumas on palm fronds, Sugared blood oranges in Mayan cocoa, Violet pastilles like raw diamonds in wicker, Check, check, and check. I'll bring the Alchemist's gyroscope, she said, What about the Wild Boar?
Don't worry, I said. I got it. I totally got it.

"I'm getting smaller every minute," I yelled, but she could not hear me Among the winged lions and ziggurats, The mad astrologers of her painted eyes.
