Does anybody know if "Feed the Baby of Love Many Beans or Perish in the Flames of Hell" copyright (c) 1990 by Greg Johnson is available anywhere for purchase?

Is what you're seeking a book, or a screenplay, or an article, or just exactly what?

Orson Scott Card wrote a short story called Feed the Baby of Love. I haven't read it, but I have heard it on an audio book. It is in my library, and I want to say it is called "The Elephant's of Poznan and Other Stories" but I can't even find that title anywhere.
The Elephants of Poznan and Feed the Baby of Love are both fantastic stories.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.
I am looking for the game "Feed the Baby of Love Many Beans or Perish in the Flames of Hell", which is the game that they playe in Card's story "Feed the Baby of Love"
One of the publications of the short story had the following note:
NOTE: The story "Feed the Baby of Love" is copyright (c) 1991 by Orson Scott Card. The game "Feed the Baby of Love Many Beans or Perish in the Flames of Hell" is copyright (c) 1990 by Greg Johnson. All quotations and game features depicted in this story are used by permission of the gamewright. The lyrics to "The Baby of Love" by Rainie Pinyon are used with the consent of the copyright holder.
So has anybody ever seen this game? I cannot find any reference of it outside of the story.

Here's the deal...
The game is real, and was created by Greg Johnson (creater of the Toejam and Earl game they used to have on Sega.) It's never been published, but if the movie ever gets made, the game will probably be published at that time (especially if the movie is a hit).
As a wink-wink inside joke, OSC also credited the song lyrics to Rainie, even though she is a fictional character and those lyrics were actually written by OSC.

Argh! Not the answer I was looking for. Oh, well.
I guess that OSC wrote a screenplay based on the story, right? Has anything beyond that happened. Feed the Baby of Love is one of my favorite OSC short stories.
