there they sit, side by side
together, touching and smiling
laughing with lingering eyes
talking with their friends
happy and wonderful
a picture of perfection
such good little kids
a water gun is pulled out
he squirts, she squeals
more laughter, how lovely
she grabs a gun from someone
jokingly, places it at her temple
thinks, what if?, a second too late
such a good little girl
it is not water that drips from her head
her lively face shatters
her little-used brains, no longer needed
his shirt is splattered with red
their friends are silent, lost in confusion
suspended in shock, he holds the gun she never took
such a good little boy
"Arg. Sometimes I can be so demented. But this a nice little fantasy."
