a humming dynamo. it does the thinking for the lights upstairs. the rotor takes a breath, gives it back as a current; the building doesn't notice. the building has not noticed for sixty years.
the hum is its private opinion of the weather. when storms come it sings differently; when nothing comes it sings the same.
