Proximity Effect

Our currents combine
in a proximity effect,
the power ever growing,
the energy collects,
every charge in our path
alternating and direct,
there can be no resistance
to what we'll erect

When the power is flowing
we cannot elect
to bypass or break
or seek to deflect,
these surges and urges
they must go unchecked,
we must follow the flow
and never object

The collisions occurring
as we intersect,
the twisting and looping
where our wires connect
bring a crackle and sizzle
that all can detect,
a heat and a spark  
they must come to expect

The power in our passion
may come to infect
those nearing our field
and they may not suspect
why their temperature's rising
yet there's no need to dissect,
they're only feeling the rush
of our proximity effect
