frog feet lean towards him
they bound
and leap
but
reptile
metaphors
hold
no
agency
when
frogs
are
actually
amphibians.
gills or no gills,
the feet pendulum.
One reptile life is not enough.
lay
out
options
lie to me.
give me lungs AND gills.
The water murks and reflects a familiar hue,
the land beckons
i want to breathe
