The Verb As a Volt
The verb, when well wired,
acts as a unit of electrical potential
equal to the difference between two sparks of meaning
on a graduated scale of question marks,
carrying a constant current of one impact.
When poetic power charges the space
between the thought and the word
there is a jolt,
and a vault from an ought
to a fact.
In the right hands
a marvelous toy.
