Somewhere on EarthA Poem by Brett HernanFor Paris Aristotle, with every respect.
At this very moment,
in perpetuity, somewhere on Earth They have placed copper alligator clips from portable, universally available for a minimal fee from any motor vehicle supplies depot, car battery chargers onto the skin attached to the very most receptive of nerve ending, water splashed, body parts. Increasing the force of the electrical current through the use of a smooth, obsidian-black like small plastic knob with such an easy action that the hand using it must, at times, utilise the absolute, most gentle of wrist movements, and a delicate grip to expertly tweak it. At this very moment, everywhere on Earth, in perpetuity... © 2017 Brett Hernan |
