you are the north to my south
the anode to my cathode
a valley to my mountain
night to my day
the cat to my dog
some say opposites attract
we sure don’t!
Dead station of soul, cold
a cuneiform of heavenly hosts
on a cathode ray tube, born
shadows of forgotten sliver gods roam
digital tears, a broken modem's wail, fear
the hollow shell of the sky, cracking
nightshade fingernails fawn
lost in the echo chamber
waiting for a mechanical dawn
It all starts off at the anode,
where the electrons are lost,
they went bumping and shooting through the wire
and set the voltmeter on fire.
There's a huge crash-land in the cathode,
where the cations are reduced,
then the anions sprinted back through the salt bridge,
and electricity is produced.
face down
again tonight
this time
of the sacred cathode
all white ways
when it glowed
free, electric
flat-line
when to destroy
is to
defy his last request
soulfully
all the best
or not at all
Godspeed
with hearts and stars
edgewise
hold high your smartest blade
whom thou lovest
thou betrayed
without question

The joyous song and dance man
--- deceased and buried in the 1980s ---
suddenly now on the tv screen
in one of his old movies,
tripping "the light fantastic"
across the tap dance limelight stage.
Ars longo, vita brevis.*
A Latin translation of Hippocrates' aphorism from its original Greek, often translated as meaning "Art is long, life is short".
