what is the difference Poem by Flavio Santi

Christ . . . what is the difference
between me and my blue Rex fridge
which cost four stipends and
ten overtime shifts?
That it has a washable surface?
That it does not cut its hair?
This night we stare at one another.
I had gone into the kitchen
to get some salted almonds.
My eye caught a glimpse
of a reflection: it was him . . .
We remain
silent one in front of the other
I munching almonds,
he producing ice
in his big electric blue head
that makes him think a lot.
I'm almost never home:
he's always here, and he is beginning
to become insufferable, he's authoritarian
like my wife likes.
She rubs against him when I'm away
and the motor goes to the max.
