Simplify me.

naturetimemortality

Simplify me.

Remove the complexity

Strip out the unnecessary,

Pare down the excessive use

Of adjectives

Especially when roused

Take out the padding

Burn off the fat cat

Exhibitionism

With its over-reliance

On rhetoric designed

To exclude the outsider

Hoping to express some interest

Without showing a weakness

For flattery,

Drain the battery

Run it dry

It will re-charge

In its own good time.

There is pure electric

In a lightning strike

Hold both ends of a line together

The circuit you create

Is magnetic

Affecting all within its field

Although they might be poles apart

Opposites exist as fundamental

In attraction

And when maintained, will remain

Continuously united

In the creation

Of illumination.
