The Poetry of Electricity
Look at his tenuous embroidery
of cables essential--
interlocking engineered
magenta transcendental
poetry composed of
orchid--tragically sentimental,
Unpretentious uniqueness, gracefully conceived.
In life unappreciated,
in death perhaps a hero,
Judge him not for lowly station
but for the gifted contribution
of stable, standard, sound construction.
Oh, husband, father, twist your wires
Electronics without histrionics,
A pioneer sampler of repressed emotion.
Art designed to be functional,
hidden, necessary, beautifully
crafted, we trust eventually
In each and every thread.
