I like that the notion of "fan death" works its way through other sleep superstitions and their rituals into a specific instance of a sleep ritual that is not a superstition. I also think "twist-inducing" is clever.

The second poem, "Any Body" reminds me of Pound's "In a Station of the Metro"

  The apparition       of these faces       in the crowd   :
  Petals      on a wet, black    bough   .
The last time I posted a short poem, the poet showed up. Somehow I doubt that'll happen this time.
