Is Your Fridge Listening to Us?
by Finn Robinson
Sorry for even mentioning this —
but do you hear that zigzagging
scraping sound in the corner?
That old-milk-flavored crypt.
Do you hear it
listening? Churning
coils like lightning bugs:
Instinctual and squishing. Spurring icy air through its
lack-of-lungs — decroded rust and metal zizzing:
The moans of dying fireflies.
Please, don’t open it:
I’ll shiver
as they flutter
down my throat.
