Plugged it into
The electric canal
Slippery
Treachery
Setting the fine hairs taut
Like bear traps.
Weâve been so busy
And somewhat at odds
That doing this
Now
Is a shock.
Like the time I was
Stringing a guitar
The unclipped wires found
An outlet
I clenched like a virgin,
By the time it was done
The wires had crumbled
In my burned hands.
