It's no surprise that my happy place is sitting by the fountain
in the middle of the night, with no one around.
The feeling of drowning in everything going on around me
is somehow soothed by the flowing water at the fountain.
I don't have to worry about not being good enough for the fountain
as i throw in copper pennies and make wishes to be better,
to be able to get a gasp of air in once in a while
before i truly drown...
but it is just a fountain
what can it really do
for me?
