good morning sunshine

when you live alone
for a while.
you begin to talk to machines
in the house.
the printer,
the computer.
the tv, the washing
machine and dryer.
hello furnace.
hello ac.
i tip my hat to mr. toaster.
good morning dishwasher.
how are you today.
ready to clean?
the conversation is mostly
one sided with me
talking, but there are
some gurgling sounds,
some rattling.
occasionally i might
even get a red light
smile.
which is an improvement
over who used
to be here.
