The Grid
A delicate network of wire and cable
strung upon towers and poles-
carry what ancient Gods of Lightning
could harness only in thunder bolts, hammers, axes, or beating drums.
Transformers and substations
shuffle the power
line by line.
Energize and illuminate
a power-hungry world.
A way of life
that must be questioned…
Before
the grid breaks;
and natural resources
Are pushed too far-
unable to replenish.
leaving us with…
NOTHING
