Frog kings aren't funny.

Strange dreams of petty kings in small, sad kingdoms
Making legacies of stone and shadow
Comfortable with ugliness and slime
Striving only to be a crumbling memory
Most deeply desiring that their children should be just like them
Small-minded, forgetful of the true good things-- the best things
Their lives are just-a-breath-and-over.
Have I been shown me?
