Pufferfish Popping
A pufferfish is soft, roundish, and sluggish.
Some even say slightly clownish.
Seemingly an easy target...
But when provoked, it puffs up and flashes a set of sharp spines.
If engulfed, it'll stick in the throat of its aggressor.
It's also highly toxic.
When predators attempt to cancel it,
they'll most likely die in the process.
If you haven't noticed, pufferfish are popping up everywhere.
Sometimes I see a hint of a pufferfish in the mirror.
