you fill the water bottle
you found in the trash
with pondwater in the field
at recess
because it has been raining
and you like this
water is full
of mosquito larvae and water fleas
and you like this
they squirm around
water fleas swim the most beautiful
and you like this
you show your dad
your dad shows school administration
school administration
orders insecticides be sprayed
into the pond
you do not like this
all you wanted was small pond
of bottle full of magic
