Come Saturday morning

The old refrigerator is gone.  Yeah!  The room still echoes with the laughter of the refrigerator removal guys.  It feels like it should be noon.

We awakened obscenely early

For a Saturday morning.

The refrigerator removal guys

Arrived at 8 AM

Breezy and cheerful

They must have gotten up

At 4.

We struggled out of bed

At 6:15.

It is 9:30 now and it feels like noon.

It seems we are in training

For the hour we will lose

This evening.

We are always in training

For something.

The living room lies strangely empty

Without that extra refrigerator.

The walls echo

With the laughter

From the refrigerator removal guys.
