Take Me to the Bullfrog Pond!

When Luther sits beside his large amorphous brother

Ruperderma, whose rose-pink translucence rarely

strikes him now as anything but silly nuisance

. 

and whose incapacity for thinking he need ever look

ahead apparently has left him idiotically without

a necessary sense of dread that he’d be dead one day

. 

and that to laze about as if life were a holiday is not

the way Lou knew we had to pay for this existence,

he wonders, how can you know you’re anywhere if

. 

you don’t know one day you won’t be here? Dare to scare

yourself with the reality of absence – reckon with 

the beckoning of the abyss, witless thing! Ruperderma

. 

sat there happy in his dilly-dallying. Sometimes he’d sing:

“Take me to the bullfrog pond and marry me to me!

Then let’s let the three of us decide what you will be.”
