Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

Like a human version,
a young human version,
of the famous jumping frog
Calaveras County, or some other locale
she was crouched, hovering over the wall,
beside the parking lot, above the
sidewalk by the roadway
aqua teal, faded pastel tank top
probably chilly in September,
white shorts, knees above her elbows
ready to spring, uncoil,
leap in the air as her mom touched
her bare right shoulder, to catch her
wayward attention, to their leaving
when she was crouched, ready to jump
