She Crackled With Static Electricity.










Crackle Paint


A.

She crackles with static electricity so loudly, people look at her in the streets. They turn heads, quicken pace, less interested, that afraid. Gazing long, transforms them to sparks, paper doilies, or battered post-war mailboxes, stamped with Royal Crown seals.

B.

The Bizarre side effects of her electromagnetic pollution,

jerk psychical thoughts to galvanic tunes nobody else hears.

In Buckinghamshire aluminum plant, people see ghosts carrying ferrous ingots, from one era, to another. No denizen points, or exhibits impolite behaviors.

C.

Puzzling, and health risk goes hand in hand. Hypersensitivities illicit crazed behaviors in rodents, and spotted dogs. Patrons of favorite bars wipe brows, sculling catastrophe

as events collide present.

D.

She found the pattern almost a year later, folded into a tiny square, under an old jar back of her kitchen cupboard.

Its vividness upset her.

E.

Living in a seaside rambler where to local residents he seemed strangely mute but normal, Darren strips cause from effect. Tortured paths fingers wind carefully by night, blistering raw strand of Tesla coil. He's Invoked Angels, and alchemical Demons where

untold moons guide shaky hands wild-eye peal. But the heavy guillotine switch! Frankenstein movies Billy Kid, ferries insect to another world. And the lightning! here,

an empty Falklands shore.

twice drunk cinched his

New York Times Paper, wipes black

ink on face dark with life and

we drink with madmen, lighting heel-

flattened cigarettes on eight-flick

lighters, searching for one last flame.

Ten minutes I watch

smoke stagger up-awning

collect in gray-blue clouds.

The clink of glass. Fall back down.

Zaz pimps his forty-ounce, gleams happiness

note frothy one-third left in greasy print

bottle Music pours from

battle-hard fire door,

adds absolute meaning spray paint

higher-n-highroglyphics.

"Sweet Jee-zus! Dat boy-sount gooot!"

Zaz-manages b'tween

his thirsty pulls.
