oxytocin

By S Joseph Gordon · Friday, 19 November 2010



hormones made me love a frog

when it puffed and croaked

i still convinced my inner me

that it was all i'd ever need



and then one day

pituitary failed

the mirror showed me trails

of slime across my face



i sought the source

and of course

it was my love

my queen

of the lilypad



and damn.

was i mad.
