And then the frogs come

You only see one,

But you hear them all

And they laugh.

And then the sky above you gets green

And the pond gets blue

And the sun keeps shining,

But brighter.

And the river keeps flowing like nothing ever did happen to the sky or the pond.

The sky and the pond changed colors

Because the sky wanted to be the frogs

And the pond wanted

To be the sky.

And the sun shone brighter,

Because the frogs wanted to be greener.

And the stroll through the park,

The animals and their silly wants

And our silly wants

Became

A juicy fruit

Being eaten alive somewhere in a pleasant place

Where nobody

Wanted to be anything.

They just ate their fruit

Straight from the trees.

And the river kept flowing like nothing ever did happen to the sky

Or the pond.

They ate their fruit

Straight from the trees.

Because it was alive and they were eating something alive and they got to have something alive

If they ate it

Straight from the tree.

Which they did.

And later while they walked around fat and happy,

The fruit would die in their stomachs.

And the one who ate it would feel as if

A piece of themselves had died.

And they got to feel dead before they died.

And they knew not to be jealous.

They knew

That others somewhere would feed off their envy if they were envious

And feel as if a piece of them had died

Later on as they walked around

Fat and happy.
