Mud Pies In Pirouette

defaced the school bus stop
egging aluminum sided trailers
stole earrings from fancy shops
toilet papered park entrances

nurtured pet rats in pig tales
smiling mischievously
gently gnawed on toenails
all the while eating mud pies

naked and foraging forests
twirling a pink tutu in pirouette
pretending to be a princess
imprisoned still in a tall tower
