Frogs in the water part 2/God in a bottle

God in a bottle,

with a scroll from far away,

telling me what to do.

Surrender to a

continental divide, take me left or ride

from ocean to ocean, soak it in,

this is to teach you obedience,

give up your resistance,

heed the message in the bottle

or fall full throttle

from mountain high.

No, the question isn’t one of

obedient

resistance,

but one of

home

and happiness:

is your mounted heaven

a place inviting

for the likes of me

and my frogs?

Or is your heaven

only a place

for the wardens

and the proud

who think they

deserved this

so much, like they

cured themselves

of poison?
