pineapple lilies
wait look -
those are docile
pineapple lilies
napping in the golden noon
on the coastline of Alohan sands
snoring on the bedrock
atop little lily pads
nearly ripened fruits
beginning to bud and sprout
be cautious
lest our motions not disturb them
we mustn't wake them
from their daydreamy séance
in this Egyptian silica ball pit
let's let the kiddos rest a bit
we'll break at the next leg of our hike
by the pointed purple pillars
where Pythagoras's status
astutely watches out
over the bay of sardonic tears
dropped from the lacrimal pits
in Heaven's gated fence
where the community watch
is always on alert
