I have two clicks in my life.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

One is at home.

One is at work.

At home, my air conditioner produces an irregular tapping sound.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

Only when the heat is on.

Drives me crazy with a capitol K.

Kept me up all night last night.

I can’t isolate it.

It’s deep in there somewhere.

Probably an expanding coil or something.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

At work, I believe the offending appliance is an EXIT sign.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

More rhythmic, this one.

Horribly consistent and quick.

Tell me, does the world serve any purpose beyond the regular and blatant annoyance of me?

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

Even when I’m lucky enough to score five minutes alone, the invisible machines want to have a little chat.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

“We are the next generation!”

If I could just have silence AND heat AND well-lit exit signs, maybe then I’d have a shot at sanity.

What upon some metal is rapping???

Edgar Allan Poe would have a field day.

Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click. Click.

That’s the nature of women, not to love when we love them, and to love when we love them not.
Miguel de Cervantes

Money-gami!
