home from college one day,
tells me
frantically,
dad, we're out of water.
i go to the sink
and turn
the spigot on.
water pours out.
no, it's fine, i tell him,
pointing at the water.
look, turn this knob and you
get cold,
the other knob is hot,
but you might have to wait
a minute or two.
no, he says.
we have no filtered
water.
no bottled spring water.
what can i
drink,
how can i brush my teeth.
mom says
that this water is full
of chemicals
that will kills us.
oh, and we're out of soy milk too.
