Sudden Momentum Sudden Momentum The living room’s been polished, and the last shred of indoor pollution, according to the EPA anyway, has receded from the air, and settled on the rug. The shine jets across the closed curtain enclosure. Then the unwinding of the vacuum cord. Handle slumped, power on. The slow grope of the first time. Thorough, it sucks everything into its slit. Then the pace quickens, slurps at every hair, fast, even faster, suddenly it’s on its own momentum, motor revving with each slide until it explodes like Mt. Vesuvius air thick with hot ash. |

Oh my goodness...I hope that doesn't happen to me. Your use of descriptive words is
interesting...groping, slurping, sucks, revving...it's almost sinful!
Thanks for posting this light and entertaining poem.
