The current whizzes around the wire.
If there's no resistor, there will be fire....

At times we are all in a state of bewilderment
Life can surprise us, our routine short circuits us
Can't see the forest
For the trees, we short-circuit
Don't know what I'm saying as into the unknown I'm thrust...

Stealing cars
Life on the fast lane
Behind the virtual world
High pitched sirens
Love for the criminals
Day by day rulers
American flag
Short circuit
Classic beard
Sweet Piano
Fight for the night
Cloudy sky
Sunshine
Looking up smiling
Is this America?...

Blessed herbs cut cords,
Short circuit spells, cast off for 
Clockwise voyages

From fire elementals
The dead receive their summons

------------
I was given the prompt of writing a tanka with these words or phrases: 
elementals , blessed herb , short circuit

Bah...

A giant robot, a winged aircraft 
and a mechanical Red Skull
all combine as a super sleeper
designed to destroy the world

But Captain America would not
let them have their way
"Can the Sleeper be stopped?"
questions the Cap

He would land on the sleeper
and short circuit it's works
and it would crash into the ocean
saving the world one more time...

I'm sitting here with short circuit
thoughts.
In a lousy dilemma, I don't know 
what to do.
I had a thousand watts dreams for 
this love affair.
But it all came crashing down due 
to the fact that it was a microwave 
type of love.
We didn't let it take time to bake or
simmer in a crockpot.
Now it's over, faster than it began.

Here’s my chores
duty become burden
unless glued as necessary

Skills to handle outer injection
broken balance reclaims future 
lit in beam to disclose
one tiny matter all applause

Named it many as disclosed
left to right, up to down
like duck as quarks
runs in human body

Partition so many 
how matter differs in cell
Short circuit I have

Sour future -Domini-...

Paranoia: short circuit to madness
Walking around freely,
Yet our minds are in straitjackets
All these voices & choices
Will offer mental hazards
Control your action
As thought misfire accident
Check your medical aid
Before the consciousness blockade
Check your sense, in reality, 
While your brain cells are in casualty
As you stand in crowds
You mind is gathering clouds
They see you while you are in "ICU"...

Another leap year and politics roll on,
and craziness has become the law of the land. 
Could geodynamo* caused by polar shifting
cause brains to short-circuit, because it's all electrical don't you know?

*Earth's magnetic field is created by the movement of molten metal—primarily iron—in the outer core, which produces electricity. This mechanism is referred to as the "geodynamo" because it operates in a similar manner to a bicycle dynamo lamp.

INTIMATIONS
 feeling
settled
sad
& tired
a kind
 of loneliness
 tell us
something intimate
 pitches us
into confusion
of
 an infinity
loop
 a short circuit
with no way out

an insight
into the mystery
of genius
confronts
the search
for beauty
in truth
a rock
 to cling to

 a moment
of recognition
a  moment of gazing
at myself
to create
an image
of  attitudes
 bathed in
 ease
of
  contemplation
a natural
&
 fresh paradox
of inividual
personification...

A dozen questions?
You want to know more...


Confront the conflict
Seek to go deeper


Focus tramples feel
With a certain flick


Short circuit in cold trace
Recycle odds and ends


When darkness falls
Nothing much happens


Words tell a lie
In authentic fake


More of the same
In dying flames


Need I say more
To state my case?


Do you detect
A certain slack?


Or old furnishings
In a re-run coup?
