funny you know birds on electrical wires,
they don’t shock themselves cause they’re not grounded.
electricity is always described with such a will,
inescapable to think to us that something with that much power would lack it.
electricity is always trying to find it’s way to ground. alternating current,
AC which paces back and forth on the Line like an angry tiger,
and direct current , which waits to escape or kill at the switch or outlet
like a cobra bared up hood flared.
but the birds up on the wire, it just goes through them.
but we bottle it and sell it to kids in batteries
