Mayflies

You hold an oragami frog
made from thick, green, folded paper.
Although the paper feels dry to the touch, 
it glistens wetly.
Characters become visible as you unfold the paper, 
thick black ink brush-strokes that curve
like the soft marks made in sand
by wind-blown grasses.

It says:

You are responsible for your own happiness.
Enjoy the mayfly flicker.
Cause and receive the minimum pain.
Do not make yourself a slave.
You know you'll have to sleep in it
if you dig your own grave.
