you know in early spring
when leopard frogs coat the road
their carcasses making it slick
i wonder if they know that they are going to die
when the rubber tire of their demise comes barreling forward
do they even try to jump away?
i think they do
because i once saw one leap out of death's embrace
when i bike almost squashed it flat
so that means
that they try and survive
their legs strain but they can't move
they're just too cold
i find it an odd analogy for love
