The Schukyll Punch

old white men who grieve
this parentage of electricity
ritual struggles of sink & swim
subtle circuitry from greek masons
with colonnades & ramparts &
life in the time of justice
great ceasar’s ghost
we come to not to rechristen
but to catalogue fictitious words
in action of my colleagues
phoned in out to commit
big words and sweet science
this is the name of industry
we choose to participate
