19 – Learning That Power



power is alive and within us

though absolute

power corrupts tools

avatars of real power


walking teaches corruption is real

strength equals multiple illusions

like law, has nothing, means much more

is more becoming on others


learning that power should have responsibility

is billed by the kilo-watt hour

can be discerned from what a person is wearing


power should be shut off

is the rate at which work is performed

is not a means it is politics on CBC

power only corrupts when we fear that power

instead of this one


power surges and illuminates

fries the wires

embitters

is relative

wind

up with a shiveree

gone stratospheric
