Dear World,

Small tropical island bound
Croaking, tree, ground.
Big or small.
‘Camou’ or conspicuous.
Iguana rehab, protected crocs or not.
Lizard is lizard and I just CANNOT.

For context: In Jamaica, many of us are afraid if lizards. There’s no real explanation as to why, how, or what the background to the phobia is. We just fear lizards and we will vacate the premises if we find a lizard in our space. No shame to it and no questions asked.

Signed,

The Suburban Girl JA®
