Refrigerator Blues




The first clue
Was the melting blue goo
Seeping from the thing
Formerly known as
My refrigerator.
Eww.

At closer glance
From a kneeling stance
The appliance
Floated in a sea
Of molten liquid
Oh.

Long weekend away
Late night return
Greeted by the smell
Of rotting fruits and meat
Nothing to eat
Nothing to save
No.

Less is more
They took our old appliance
When they brought the new one
Empty shelves and vegetable bins
With the steady hum of
A cooling frost
Time to buy new ice cream.
Now.
