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