[appliances have never been my strong point] Poem by Bart Meuleman

appliances have never been my strong point, I've always believed in
manual exchange of loss and pleasure, hate and sorrow, thought and death.
your life really brings a breath of fresh air.
the proper distortion of the facts, every day you breathe, the murmur
from your body.
it's also the way you are, button on my finger, when you fall asleep, electric.
the tiredness, my dear, we must keep sharing it.
