There is a wind machine
that keeps fire in check

It works with breeze
afuera el aire malo/adentro el aire bueno

threaded in colour
it breathes the heat

and the black smell
you must get on your knees

(mind your fingers, cause it bleeds)

do not let it catch fire
you don't need them to tell you how

but no, you might not know what it is
search the web for definitions

find leafblowers
the word no longer means

It works with breeze
what it does, it can undo it

many have perished 
from that which makes them tick

come on, do not take yourself so seriously
