In real time

In a room with closed windows and no air conditioner on-I am perfectly cooled by the fan overhead. No one home, quiet outside-I am at rest on the bed, looking up at a cracked yet solid white ceiling-feeling my still back, my body flat and stretched-street sounds, a car driving past, the steady hum of the fan going round-peace and me and nothing more.

'...peace and me' and we few others viewing with kindly eyes that ceiling and hearing with attentive ears your city's heartbeats through the senses you embody. Thank you.
