Some stuff that went through my mind one night as I was getting a glass of water.
I grab a plastic cup,
fill it with ice and water
from the tap, and wonder
why I added that ice,
like the 30 degree weather
hadn't chilled the pipes enough.
Then,
picky me
remembers that while I'm
worried about the temperature
of my water,
thousands
die of thirst.
