Oscillate

My fan has grown weary of Summer
and I can't say I blame him.

All he can do is oscillate back and forth
at three varying speeds.

When we are together in my room
on those warms nights I thank him

for the pleasant air on my skin.
Other times I glare at him for doing

nothing but circulating hot air back
at me. He is a simple creature-

almost as simple as I.
