the Jamaican tree frog

there was
a time
when everyone,
or nearly
everyone wanted a red
dining room,
or a red
accent wall.
maybe
a peacock blue
bedroom,
or a bright orange,
or granny
apple green
kitchen.
i carried
the speckles of these
paints on my
hands and face for
weeks.
often mistaken for
a Jamaican
tree frog, minus
the squeak.
