the windows
leak
and the floor
isn’t totally flat
and there’s a
big blue diesel
engine down there
anyway and
i ought to
start it and
run it and
when i flip the
engine toggle
the oil pressure
alarm goes off
and i know
nothing
of engines
and nothing
of physics and
the lighter i use to
light my propane stove
just ran out of fuel
and fuel
is another thing i
don’t understand
all that well though
well enough
to know that
when something is
desperate enough
it will seek
and find and
combust.
