risking the battery

surge protector hook up
shook up
and bypassed
straight to the outlet
at logic's upheaval
to sacrifice security
for a higher rate of retrieval,
buying the power sight unseen--
is it safe, is it clean?

the generator gleans
every cell
for total objectification...

warning bells drown out
by praises of connection
signaling perfection
though a wall still subsides, separates, divides.

the fuse might blow in a dignified sublimation,
cremation...

scattering sparks of anticipation, elation,
total emancipation...
