At Night

It's prank night if it feels right!

By BrenPublished 2 years ago Updated 2 years ago 1 min read

i love coming here at night

when there is no one else around

i make imaginary blow fish on the windows

that hardly ever leaves a sound (plop)

in my mind i throw toilet paper

across the desks and and the backs of chairs

glad wrap over a couple of toilet seats

that will get them unawares

helium balloons full of glitter

to be popped randomly willy nilly

reveling in the immaturity of it all

just relishing the simple of silly

adjusting the volumes on unlocked PC’s

googly eyes will be stuck on family snaps

a captive audience for the work of my idle hands

and just maybe then perhaps…

    Helium balloons full of glitter, that's a great idea! And so cruel.
