The squish of mud between your toes; how would you live your life as a frog?
Like Emily Dickenson: "I'm a nobody. Who are you? Are you a nobody, too? So, there's two of us. Don't tell! They would censor us, you know. How dreary to be a somebody! How awful, like a frog, to croak your name the live-long day to an admiring bog." Something like that.
