big bright green tree frog
in the toilet bowl
wife just couldn't piss
with him looking at her
so I
picked him up
he jumped high
but I caught him
in midair
kids laughing like drains
in the hot morning sun
I transported him
over the dusty red road
down the long grass path
legs dangling
quiet in my hands
under the leafy trees
to the ancient waterwell
he sat at the edge
where I released him
flexed his legs
before the jump
*envoi:*
still toilet bowl
frog jumps in
cool
