Electricity is the lifeblood of technology,
The current that runs through its wires
Animating its circuits and schematics,
The spark of energy that powers up its programs
And lights up its liquid crystal screens.

Plugged in or charged up,
The computer surfs the internet,
The smartphone downloads its apps.

Electricity makes the technology heart beat.
Generators and capacitors, transformers and routers
Send pulses of its power through the wires
To your little house on the street,
With all of its interconnected devices.

The humming power grids are its veins.
High voltage current is its blood.
Electrons are its platlets,
Fingering the digits
In digital analysis,
The quantum mechanics
Mechanizing its logic.

But electricity itself is like a spirit,
A strange, wild spirit
Moving from positive to negative
At the speed of light,
Generating heat.

It is the pure, supernatural energy
Of lightning bolts
Dancing over the circuit boards
In little flashes and clicks.

Exploding into arcs.

Filling the static world with sparks.
