Ex-Electric - or Eccentric
Gadgets have twiddle-rings and grabbit-bars,
press-its, turn-its, handles, and plugs.
Blackouts have candles, torches, Scrabble, cards,
Too dark for darts,
Watch your hair - it nearly caught fire,
Waxy bits on the table,
And dried mashed potato on the plates
where the washer-upper didn’t see it.
