Hair drawn forth
Electrostatic ecstatic
Hair drawn forth
Stretching scalp
Erupting abruptly
By inverse craters
Peaks of follicle frolics
Agitated and elated by
Invisible natural force
Like a windless wind blowing
Its course from skin's surface
Out into the infinity of space
Two orbits measure pace
Drawing ever nearer
Still nearer
Gravity breaching distance
Resistance defiance
Reliance on the expected
Excepted at this moment
Of weightless suspension
Childhood anticipation
Magical elation as
Root and branch of fibrous filament
Dance to delight
Erect in solid posture
Outstretched toward
Gossamer skin
Of energised
Enraptured
Captured and captivated
Heavenly body that is
This child's plaything
Orb of delight
Yet what could be more inspirational
Demonstrating phenomenon electron
Than a balloon poised
Caressed until possessed
Of electrostatic potential
Thanks for reading
