Life Among the Units

 

They call us UNITS,

not kids, students, or people,

Collin said

one day at lunch.

 

It’s true, said Gary

I heard ‘em talking

in the office.

 

Well they can bite MY unit!

said Hector

grabbing the appropriate place.

 

They laughed.

When Hector made a joke

it was kind of required.

But they would have

laughed anyway.
