A Sensible Move

When you hear 
    the refrigerator hum
  flourescent bulbs buzz, 
   door hinges squeak
  and meet a ghost in the hallway
    if that's what you seek...

  Then your daytime senses
    starved for information
  have chosen to dwell
    in your Imagination

My childhood friend would call and say: Is the refrigerator running…well you better catch it. We all get spooked sometimes…even the best of us.

Ha, ha! We used to use that line about the refrigerator, too. It was, let us say, just a bit overused. lol.
