A/C

I bought the unit 5 years ago
at the time it was my second
most expensive purchase
(after a pair of black cowboy boots
7 years before that)
it felt terribly adult
and responsible
not to mention necessary
as it was a typical Chicago summer
(sweltering)
at the time I could barely function
as I was close to bottom
so the acquisition
was quite an accomplishment
given my condition.

I think of it
every year
as I put it
in the window
and enjoy
the pumping cool relief
of my long ago errand.

Strange, the fondness for things.
