Is intensity a frequency
scaled to a pitch?
Has it got to do with density,
is it triggered by a switch?
.
Is the metaphor electrical
so the force is but a buzz?
Maybe that's too technical
and far from what it does.
.
Is it chemistry that holds the key
to bundling up our nerves?
What's the source of energy
that taps in to reserves?
.
Things condense and things increase
as things in waves and springs release.

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
