She sits still, in quiet reserve, conspicuously tucked away in the brightest corner of my room. She insists on access to a window, not for the light but for the air. And she seldom sleeps, constantly shaking in starts and spurts. I've learned to tolerate her whines, although she can be somewhat loud, rumbling away in the background. But she has the magical power of reducing my temperature with no more than her breath. She exhales heated exchanges keeping it cool in my room. And I'm so incredibly grateful for her most welcomed relief that I've made room in my life for her. Call it a summer infatuation, but I'm not ashamed to admit: I'm in love with my air conditioner!
