ode to the water fountain by the art room
by margaretjp
"can you come
get water
with me?"
the phrase that would
silence our entire
classroom.
everyone knew
that the
water fountains were
the hotspot of drama.
back then the
matter was extremely
serious.
now it's a joke.
we used to think
our
problems were
these serious things.
but now, as i
stare into the
abyss
of loneliness, i
understand that
it can't be that way anymore,
and it never will be again.
