Poke-a-Hippo with a corn.
Spot him evenly and spray paint said imprints
all the colors foreign to his natural habitat.
Elevate his prehistoric status to that of imagination,
Equip him with a tusk of the striped variety,
Protrude it from the tender place between his eyes,
where all magic is cultivated.
Plop a star at the tip of the spire,
so he is forever led by hope.
