Engines in the City - Jenny Hval

I arrived in town

With an electric toothbrush

Pressed against my clitoris

After a few weeks

I run out of batteries

Humming silently between my lips

I am the engine now

I learned how to make that humming sound

Together we make it in the city

Silently brushing against each other

We share things, but not language

My humming is alone

My humming is my own

My humming is alone

My humming is my own
