13 Ways of Looking at a Durian

1

Perhaps this green spiky ball
Without its chain
Is the prototype of the weapon
Once hurled in medieval wars.

2

The smell of the durian is overpowering,
The taste of the durian causes memory dysfunction.

3

The land of the Durian Eaters
Is the land of the Lotos Eaters
There is a problem with time.
There is a problem with credit cards.

4

Dedicated durian eaters
Have telepathic powers
Perhaps the durian chemical
manipulates the cerebral cortex.

5

Is this why the CIA
Are interested in local durian technology?

6

It is also a known fact
That during durian season
There is an increase in UFO sightings
And alien abductions.

7

We should consider
That Extra-Terrestrials are among us.
Are durians narcotic fruits
From a far-off galaxy?
