------------------------------------
As usual, I was assigned to write this for class and I'm so grateful because if my profs didn't make me write, I'd probably find other less artistic, soul-feeding things to do, like clean, vac my car, or do laundry...Ugghh! The horror! Thank God I am encouraged to write down all this random stuff in my head. I would surely go insane otherwise. Ok, I'll shut up and get to it. Enjoy!

Dip me in the cold white liquid
Don't leave me too long
Or I'll fall apart
End up drifting in the water
Parts of me floating
Parts of me sinking to the bottom
They argued over me last night
I felt special until I realized
they didn't want to savor me
But wanted to use me up in one
night
while they sat in front of the big
box with
bright changing colors, creatures
like them talking to each other
I don't understand why they need a
big plastic box for that
Doesn't that happen all around them
every day?
My devourers are a strange breed
The tall one with the mustache I
get caught in
Reaches for me and stares at me a
little too long
It makes me feel awkward
Make a decision, man! I say to him
but he doesn't hear me
The tiny blonde one giggles as she
grabs me and
my friends from our row where we've
lived for months
she dips me into the deep white
pool
But she drops me
I look up and see her chubby little
hands
reaching, her fingers swirling,
poking downwards
She needs to hurry, I'm starting to
feel soft
Ahh! She plucks me out of the sweet
liquid
And I travel upwards, upwards
until it gets dark

Note: The song "Take me Out" by Franz Ferdinand came on while writing this. Just thought you should know. I thought it was appropriate because...you know what, nevermind. At ease, soldier.
