The Fridge.
In the summer silence, far from town, in
a village settled firmly by a slope, where
crocked streets are uneven, mules clanking
hooves and cartwheels creak are a memory,
I listen to the kitchen’s fridge song.
Naturally it’s about true love and that she’ll
never leave me and since it’s a mechanical
voice I had to make up the words that are
a mixture of western ballads, the lonely
cowboy on his horse riding into the sunset.
When I open its door and drink milk straight
from the carton its voice gets shrill tells me
to use a glass, complains that its white surface
is full of my finger marks; slam the door shut,
look out of the window…empty street.
Turn back to the fridge open its door drink
milk, as a sullen protest, the way I want to,
clean its surface though till it looks like
a snow princess’ bosom, then I make up
new words for a beautiful song.
