Manuscript Return


Playing leap-frog

I try to jump over

the establishment.

They have a nasty habit

of arching their backs

just as I'm about

to clear the height

of measured expectation.

I fill my cheeks with air,

It’s quite a feat

to keep the words inside.

Anyhow - it seems that

all they hear is croaking.
