Turning and Twirling

Round and round the fan goes

Round and round my head twirls

I can stare at it for hours

No worries, I’m free tonight

—-

I’m free tonight

And tomorrow night

And the night after tomorrow

It’s just me, the fan, and the night

—-

I envy that device

At least it knows it’s purpose

Even though it’s just turning all day

At least it’s doing what it’s made to do

—-

And so it keeps on turning

And I keep on staring—

Tonight and for the nights to come

I stare and wonder if I can ever be of use too
