electricity

Janet Kuypers
4/4/15

— almost didn’t believe it,
but
there was enough
electricity
between us
to power a small city.
Well, maybe Kane.
Or maybe Logan Square...

Every once in a while
my hair stands up
on my arms,
at the base of my neck.
I feel the electricity in the air,
and I wonder:
is it just me,
or do you feel
the electricity between us
still
when we’re suddenly
in the same room.
