This poem is a meditation on that sense of being positively negative. There is something electric between positivity and negativity. I am a salt of the earth kind of guy, a dude abiding, and yet some people don’t take kindly from my posed battery.
In this poem, the “dude abiding” is a reference in the iconic film, The Big Lebowski. Also, I make a Harry Potter reference to the mysterious archenemy, Voldemort. As a muggle of sorts, I fact-checked the appropriateness of this reference, and I learned that young Harry Potter got a lightning bolt scar on his forehead in his first encounter with Voldemort. Bizarrely, I have had a lightning bolt scar on my forehead for years and I never knew this Harry Potter connection. I even looked scarily like Harry Potter when I was his age. Truth is stranger than fiction! Enjoy.
A Salt & Battery
Could you be more positive?
Could you BE more negative
I was charged
In my battery of attests
Watts power got
Too due with it
Could you be volt amor?
Know
A salt of the earth kind
Of guy
The deference between
Amp or sand
A special kind
Of mettle
A rare alloy to awe
Galvanizing
A preternatural potentiality
To not be taken
Lightly
As knews of eclecticity
Beware he
As miss under stood
As shrewed as a wake
As lightening scarred
To be powerless
As if weather
Killing apparent
Or a small chide
I am
Just
A dude
Abiding
Fully groan
As a word winning wizard
Harnessing magic
Between positive and negative
