Magnolia and Hyacinth

Used to be there were
toads everywhere. I could
go get a toad anytime I wanted.

Then we killed the red
ant scout.

Now I'm tentative and you're
cautious. And I

don't really want either
of those things but it sounded
like a bargain so I had to
take it.

I'm not something to cling to
in the storm, baby. I'm
something that runs.

I hear ducks. I must be
hearing things. Here they
are again.
