we need things

the oven does its job
without asking,
the micro wave, the fridge,
the sink,
the disposal.
the washer and dryer,
each
with a push of a button
goes on
about their business of
doing what they
were made to do.
no stress involved,
no bickering,
no wondering what tomorrow
may bring
or not bring, just
a gentle nudge is all
they need
to get on with their day,
the push of a button.
the twist of a handle.
the twist of a dial,
but we're different.
we need things, like
love.
