Sculpture: Genius of Electricity, by Evelyn Beatrice Longman Genius denotes a tragedy for the greater masses that Even in this day and age cannot be sufficed into Notions of sanity. Monsters come from the skies and yet In heavenly golden lightning he came on keys on kites, on Unending wires on storms, on bulbs and it Sanctioned itself our savior in the form of electrocution. ----- Once my mother touched her pool water during a storm. Fire scorched her veins and she lived. ----- Elemental in his natural prime, he dangles Lightning and controls the wires that Ensnare humanity in traps Concealed as the darkness-shattering nonsense. Thinking himself our guardian, muscles Ripple taut against the strain. Trees grew from Atlas’s beard and Ice from his shoulders but the man of gold fears nothing Concrete. How it must feel to be so free. Isolated from the ancients by modernity, it Touches every part of the human condition. Ye spiteful saint, all hail to thee. Chase Hoffman Chase Hoffman is a burgeoning young writer originally from a small town in the mountains of Connecticut.
