.
He took a step, a leap so grand that no frog could conquer such a

he wasn’t searching for the acceptance of New York City; he was
searching for ‘
the world beyond our knowledge…
’ As his body weightlessly
immersed into the river, he was finally accepted into a place, where
no matter his structure, would be accepted…
Not only the river, but, his thoughts were his assassin, the walls of
life suffocated him.
So, whether you are born human or animal,
we’re all just a frog
in the big city
.
