The Bullfrog

Topics: classic

He sat with no more compunction     than an eel fish     big-faced, bloated,     the complexion of a beehive      -    a dragnet of emotions     crammed into a tumbler     upended in water.     His eyelids wore the effort     of horseblinders, a     spongy leather     masquerading as torpedoes     and I saw him     lonely at the crossroads     matted grass,     a strip of wire, cold current     chasing flecks about     his person, then lunging green     exploded into rapacity    -     caressed the awaiting fly strewn stick     with emerald mouth &     coffers of appetite.
