Ray's Gumbo

OUR NEW/USED FRIDGE

WE TRADED UP
FROM WHAT WE HAD
THIS ONE'S SLIGHTLY BIGGER
A TWO DOOR
WITH THE FREEZER ON THE TOP
THIS ONE'S SLIGHTLY NEWER
WE RE-HINGED THE DOORS
THE OTHER WAY
AND PAINTED OVER THE RUST
WITH SOME SORT OF ARTSY IVY VINE
AND THEN PLACED THE MAGNETS BACK
IT SITS THERE LIKE BACKGROUND FODDER
UNTIL THE MOTOR STOPS IT'S WHIRR
THE SUDDEN SILENCE IS WELL NOTED
AND THE VIBRATION HAS NOW QUIT
BUT WHILE IT'S THERE
IT DOES IT'S JOB
WE JUST LIVE WITH IT.
