i set it down right there
in the middle of the room
a ripple crossed the surface
as if the ground had shaken
filled to the brim
it sat so serene
a glass of juice i had just poured
from a carton now half empty
my taste buds tingled and my mouth watered
causing my lips to pucker a bit
that feeling of refreshment
just moments away
i guess it could be called excitement
the longer i waited
with only my own will keeping me from the glass
the more intense this feeling became
but the instant my lips touched that cool cool juice
that feelings was gone
