The FAB&PP Poem of the Month for May 2004
| listening to the furnace late at night the rushing energy vibrating through the ducts and floor the fan launches the air enveloping cold ankles warm backs alike the throbbing process steadies and recedes giving way [after a time] with a soft electro-mechanical click in the thermostat |
the burner quits and the oil (finally) pump rests the fan continuing its evacuation for a while then stopping itself with a sudden lack of urgency nothing left but the moan and groan of thermodynamic equilibrium (settling) and then in the silence of the refrigerator cycle the TIVO hard drive is the only whisper left of life |
