It’s nothing new you
learned it ins school
thermodynamics
second rule
with no questions asked and
the universe as proof: such
concentration is
born to be used
opposites attract and
the circuit’s complete and
you’re all turned on
from the light
and the heat
now the battery is the music
and the music’s
the beat
as long as they’re
dancing
the crowd is at
peace
now energy’s neither
created
nor lost but
nobody
said it doesn’t
cost
there really is no
solo act
the only option for potential
is contact
it’s hard to kick against the goads
if a battery can’t carry the load -
the law of supply and
demand
itself – there’s another
one waiting on the shelf
now we all live off that
transition so
before you start your grand
inquisition
learn the lesson of
transformation
grasp the truth
of equilibrium
somewhere a
battery
on a garbage heap
in a kind of
faithful
quantum leap
makes the final change of
state
gives its warmth to
empty space
another dishonourable discharge
for the universe
at large
stretched out between
a bed-spring and a drum
