When We Turn on the Faucets
What if rainbows came out?
What if pinatas and candy come out?
Instead hard books or punches from people.
Instead horses and mean dogs to eat you.
What if ice cream came out or pizza?
What if pillows came out to sleep on?
Instead we drink water from a boot.

Dear Water
I drink you every day. I drink
five glasses of you. But I’m worried
about my brother because he drinks
you out of the faucet and I am
worried he will get sick.
Thank you for your service.
Love,
Rachel
