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