UNTITLED

ali is alseep on the floor
futureman has taken over the couch
dan and whit are in bed
i'm listening to the rain
we have the windows open
a cool breeze is blowing in
and wrapping around my legs
as there is the roaring of
a distant rumble of thunder
not a single person is snoring
when I was younger a had an obsession catching giant green bullfrogs
I would use this long jigging poles with a white or pink fly lure
it may seem easy but those frogs are startled at the sound of next to nothing
you have to move in directly behind them like a puma
when you dangle that fly in front of them they will snatch it up then they are yours to put in an empty ice cream bucket
parade around town
and show all the bicycle riding girls just how sly you really are
I never had a bullfrog die in captivity on me but those couple of hours we spent together
before I took him back to his lime green mossy carpet covered pond
were better than almost anything
i've done recently
