Supranatural Mischief

Well Above the Fray

By Gerard DiLeoPublished 3 years ago • 1 min read
Strikes and Balls

I donned asbestos gloves

Picked up ball lightening

Hurled it down from the Heavens

Pins fell like people

***

I ionized the Borealis

Shuffling my feet on Earth's carpet

Touched a fellow-by-the-toe

Galvanizing spinal memory

***

I collected acid rain

To dilute the Great Salt Lake

Mormons were alkalinized

Decreeing the new pH to be

***

Preternaturally punctual

I effervesced

And worked what's wrought

Dutifully, likewise, evanesced

***

I ran counter to the world's rotation

Until I was geostationary

I could pick up all the GPS

Telling me where I can go

***

I can see souls leaving bodies

And hear the beauty of a face

And sublimate your better points

Before I return to my senses.
