where are yoo? /
yoo hooing toe tips /
under we’ll come mat /
diving board send off /
one for each foot /
of pond water /
enough! she said /
to kill your nap time /
saliva bubbles sink /
in the last rattle /
attracting tadpoles /
to test their new legs /
on mountainous back & bottom /
landscape for a hatching season /
is it a smile? /
below the surface /
telling that environment /
all you know /
come back to the e-z chair /
above ground we have our own insects /
they’ll get to know our cracks /
pulling the crosswalks apart /
fare skin to drift across the river/
take this hand for a day /
remembering the shape of happiness
till hell’s mood changes /
blood makes us bold /
that’s what our species is told /
despite losing an inch a year /
to the wind’s latest jeer
