.
Have you ever imagined that you are a spark
of hot electricity originating in some
dynamo a hundred thousand wire miles
away, arriving dutifully to, let us
for imaginary argument's sake say,
power up a computer or charge a cell phone.
.
If you have not done this electric exercise,
of running through wires, across vast distances,
to terminals and relay stations, then dancing
along wind and rain tortured landscapes
to dive underground and up to greet houses
and their innards, then you have not
lived.
