The Bullfrog (Big Bureau Again)

Socrates: But if he did not acquire the knowledge in this life, then he must have had and learned it at some other time? 
Meno: Clearly he must. 
Socrates: Which must have been the time when he was not a man? 

                                                                                (Plato tr. Jowett)

Through the night on the creek bank

bellows fan desire,

round and hollow followed by a snapping whip:

CRO-AK CRO-AK CRO-AK....

I listened.

I am still listening.

What do the frogs remember of me?
