Lazy Fall

All it takes
is the fan going on
when triggered by the thermostat

A breeze on my legs
A paper lifting off from the table
and ending up on the floor
after a lazy fall

Startled
I take a moment
to ignore the hard work before me

It turns into an hour of
nothing
No words for the time spent

When the fan turns itself off
I sit some more

wondering how hot it has to get
before I begin to work

especially knowing that the hot days
are almost at an end
