Electricity

Electricity

Electricity
Slaps his yellow thigh
Looking at his World
Of light and glass

Circuits twitch
In his topaz eyes
Insulators hum
In his platinum mind

Electricity
Pats his copper stomach
Watching his silvery tentacles
Caress a few billion stony hearts

Plastic smoke swirls
In his metallic innards
Wet blue fire pulses
In his golden nostrils

Electricity
Extends his hollow hands
Enveloping the universal dark
In packets of star-flame

Rohit: If not anybody else I think I’d be bored first if I wrote about the same few things all the time.

English does not have gender for common nouns so electricity does not have gender. But in my head electricity has always been male so I used the male pronoun.

Another clarification… Is the gender for electricity Male? Or am I ignorant??? Stupid question I know!!!! But can’t help asking. :-)
