for nuclear war by hiding under
our wooden
desks
in the third grade.
what we didn't know was
that
they were fireproof
and would
protect us from radioactive
waves.
the desk had a secret drawer
full of food
and water,
things we would need to
survive for thirty days.
there was a plastic hazmat
suit tucked
inside
the little cubby hole where
we kept our
pens and erasers.
there was nothing at all to
worry about
when the sirens blared
and the big one fell on our
elementary school.
there was no need to be afraid.
