Most nights I yearn for the role of a spark plug
rather than the live wire I present on the daily
clouded by the smoky air of uncertainty
I'm aware of the sparks I've cascaded
but flummoxed over whom I've ignited
Are the tell-tale signs as obvious as it seems for so many?
Have I crossed too many circuits over the years?
Or do they write off this discharged jargon as a leaky, dead battery's acid?
"...leaky, dead battery..."
I feel that way sometimes, how did you know? :D
flummoxed is a great word! - slc
