Ode To The Smell Of Electricity Poem by tyler eisner

Ode To The Smell Of Electricity



Under the bed
In a loop
Only turning left
A train buzzes around a track
Powered by
That invisible
Intangible yet tangible
Electricity

Coursing through the rails
Emitting the odor
Of power
Of shock
Of tang

Distant yet present
Is this scent
Like the mind
Of a wanderer
Visible when in focus
Cellophane when preoccupied

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I used to have this toy train set that I would set up under my bed and I could always smell the electricity pulsing through the rails
