When I practice Taichi with my washing machine

The sound of the machine balances my movements and my mind is at peace

This is my second time synchronizing with a machine

The first time was with a standing electric fan.

Spiritual at sunrise, positive in the morning

By noon, I stand between black and whiteI seek humor in the evening

And stare at the refrigerator in the late night

Ricecooker
A warm body that exchanges Power internally and externally
Water boils into heat that rises through the cracks
Hisses until the automatic switch jumps up
Pop!
