“I guess expectations of me are too, ribbit, high. Jump, they say. Catch that fly with your abnormally long tongue, they say. All fucking day, ribbit. Sometimes I just need to turn it off. Sometimes I just need time for me. Sometimes I just come to this bench in this park and think about the wrong turns I made, ribbit, the paths not chosen, the reverse mortgage, ribbit, all my kids hopping around in a world that I know to be unsafe and unloving. I just need a second, ribbit. Get that fucking camera out of my face.”
