Wirey nests.

Day 3 has been interesting..... Spent the day nerding out with friends playing games and watching bowl games.  We went to Whole Foods to grab some beer and holy shit, beer has apparently become a semi-precious liquid since last time I was at the grocery store.  It was like all my favorite beers suddenly were 30% more expensive and hadn't changed in size or quantity.  Luckily, I found a rogue case of PBR hiding abashedly behind some Widmer in a corner obviously trying to lay low and keep out of sight.  Needless to say my friends and I imbibed, and it was........ mediocre.  I wrote the poem for today in a parking lot tonight, as I hadn't been home since around 1pm, and sitting in my freezing car I wondered if I would ever get inspired.  So here it is...

Wirey Nests


You can enhance my circuitry
For maximum flow
And store my senses in the
Blue cold.

Speed is more important
Than our friction.

Control is the enemy
Of our would be sparks,
Flights of love and bewilderment
Chilled to keep levels
Manageable.

My brittle bones of
Green and iron
Soldered soft
Will run a mathematician's maze
To hopefully win out
Against shifty, suckered,
Too bad odds.
With luck to be removed
From dewy housing
And to draw blood from a careless handler.

Only my resistors matter.
Small strongholds of languid safety
Tantalizing to twist and pluck
From wirey nests
That matter the most
