I bought my first Electrolux
vac from an oldish man
who went door to door.
He was pleasant
and down to earth,
asked if he could put
his hat on a chair.
We didn't have sex
though he spent a lot of time
explaining hoses
and attachments
while kneeling on my floor.
I sat nearby on the couch
glad I didn't wear shorts that day.
