9/24
i'm thankful that when i was walking miso this morning, though it was dark, i stopped her before she started licking a dead toad in the middle of the street.
i'm thankful for phillip larkin's poem "the mower," for the blades of hard enjambments and punctuation, for the use of the word "unmendably," for the desperate hope of the ending.
i'm thankful for the episode of hamilton's pharmacopeia about the psychedelic toad.
i'm thankful that in fifth grade, i had a t-shirt with a picture of rainforest frogs on it and my teacher gave me the nickname "frog man"
