A Flat Line

A loud, high beep
A vibrating phone
A new text message
Quickly texting back

A loud, high beep
A shout of "buddy check"
A quick head count
Splashing water again

A loud, high beep
A teacher's last words
A scraping of chairs
Children leaving class

A loud, high beep
A set of flashing lights
A police car nearing
Cars pulling over

A loud, high beep
A flat line
A single tear
It's over, he's gone.
