17 | | Bottom of the drink: they had | ||
18 | | to go. The Coke machine, the snack | ||
19 | | machine, the deep fryer. Hoisted | ||
20 | |||
21 | | and dragged through the halls | ||
22 | | and out to the curb, they sat with | ||
23 | | other trash beneath gray, forlorn | ||
24 | |||
25 | | skies behind the elementary | ||
26 | | school, wondering what their next | ||
27 | | move would be. The Coke machine | ||
28 | |||
29 | | had always wanted to live | ||
30 | | the life of a [hobo][], jumping trains, | ||
31 | | eating from garbage, making fire | ||
32 | |||
33 | | in old oil drums. It had some | ||
34 | | strange romantic notions of being homeless, | ||
35 | | is what the deep fryer thought. | ||
36 | |||
37 | | Its opinion was to head to court, | ||
38 | | sue the bastards at the school for early | ||
39 | | termination of contract. It was | ||
40 | |||
41 | | the embodiment of [justifiable anger][]. | ||
42 | | It believed privately that it was an incarnation | ||
43 | | of Nemesis, the goddess of divine | ||
44 | |||
45 | | retribution. What the snack machine | ||
46 | | thought, it kept to itself, but it did say | ||
47 | | that [nothing ever ends][]. The others | ||
48 | |||
49 | | were confused, then angry, but finally | ||
50 | | understood, or thought they did. The snack | ||
51 | | machine's candy melted in the sun. | ||
