Four legs,
independently paddling,
approaching a half
submerged log.
Grasping with two front
legs and pulling up,
sliding its painted flat bottom
onto the rounded surface.
Precariously perched
in the sunlight
of the water hazard,
as it watches
the Patrician golfers
meander in their idle game,
while tailgating from its reptilian
plebeian vantage
in its camper.
