BEYOND THE FROGGY REEDS<\/b><\/p>\n
-for Peyton and Hale and the Big Big Tadpoles<\/i><\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we picked up little seed puffs and they looked like salt potatoes<\/p>\n
we listening to ska and reggae music drifting in and out of the trees<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
up and down the rocky paths, mountainous but not a mountain<\/p>\n
maybe long ago we would have been singing to keep our breath<\/p>\n
but it\u2019s the 21st century and we\u2019re still smoking cigarettes<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
our nature is just as organic as all we encounter<\/p>\n
but the birds are hushed and bothered by our racket<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we\u2019re unapologetic and we don\u2019t litter our butts<\/p>\n
sometimes all you can do is your least-worst<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we wander in and out of the dappled green light<\/p>\n
sometimes crunching past quieter than we mean to be<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
we\u2019re hungry and we want more of everything<\/p>\n
more light, more music, more view of the valley from the bench<\/p>\n
there\u2019s an enormity to the mountain that only the music can touch<\/p>\n
