Branches holding slimy, leafy, hopping...
ear buzzing... sticky Two-edged sword whipping -
neon articulations!
There's a shooting downtown. A tree frog
Chirps. Two young people discover love. A tree frog
Chirps. The Chicago Cubs beat the Toronto
Bluejays. A tree frog chirps. A bimbo
On the Internet becomes a celebrity. A
Treefrog chirps. Life goes on. Day by day,
Week by week, year by year. And a tree frog chirps.
