    Tadpoles

    Tadpoles squirm erratically

    In a roadside pond

    Out on the asphalt

    Their road kill mother is a monument of Darwinism

    While another fiberglass beast disfigures her further

    Still the tadpoles squirm about

    Exploring the ponds rainbow colored waters

    They shall, soon enough, run out of world

    an interesting look into the world of a frog growing up and its struggles to survive.

    kind of feel like we're all in that rainbow colored water, just floating around, oblivious to what's coming...
