AN ESSAY ON THE THEORY OF ENERGY: I GET A CHARGE OUT OF LIFE

THROUGH THE FENCE I SEE MORE ELECTRICITY THAN I CAN UNDERSTAND. AT FIRST GLANCE, IT MIGHT BE A BIT CONFUSING. NOT MIGHT, IT IS CONFUSING. LIFE ITSELF IS CONFUSING. BUT THAT IS ONLY MY OPINION. FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT CURIOUS ABOUT ENERGY, LIFE IS SIMPLE AND EASY. OF COURSE, IF THEY TOUCHED ONE OR TWO OF THOSE ELEMENTS BEHIND THE FENCE, LIFE WOULD CEASE TO BE SIMPLE AND EASY, NOR WOULD THEY BE TROUBLED OR CURIOUS ABOUT ENERGY. NO THEY WOULD, MOST CERTAINLY FIND OUT ABOUT ENERGY FIRST HAND.

NOBODY SHOULD SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH AN ELECTRICAL CHARGE UNLESS, OF COURSE, THEY DESERVED IT. AND THAT BRINGS UP YET ANOTHER SUBJECT, THAT OF CAPITAL OR CAPITOL PUNISHMENT. EXCUSE ME! WHO AM I TO JUDGE ANOTHER? BUT IS IT OKAY TO SAY THAT I BELIEVE HITLER WAS ONE WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN LET LOOSE BEHIND THE FENCE ABOVE IN AN ELECTRICAL STORM. BUT SOMEHOW THIS ESSAY ON ENERGY IS DIGRESSING, DRIFTING SOMEWHAT AIMLESSLY AND GOING WHERE? LET ME RETURN TO THE ORIGIN OF THIS PHOTO ESSAY. I WAS LOOKING FOR A SOMEWHAT UNIQUE PHOTO TO WRITE ABOUT. HAVE YOU EVER DONE THIS? DONE WHAT, YOU ASK? PICKED OUT A PHOTOGRAPH AND TRIED WRITING SOMETHING INTERESTING ABOUT IT, THAT'S WHAT. NO, I AM NOT SUFFERING ANY ILLUSIONS THAT THIS ESSAY IS INTERESTING, I SIMPLY HOPE IT HAS SOME ELECTRICITY SURROUNDING IT, ENOUGH TO KEEP THE READER FROM SNOOZING. YOU HAVE HEARD IT SAID THAT "...IF YOU SNOOZE, YOU LOSE" RIGHT? DO YOU BELIEVE IT? REALLY, I DON'T GIVE A RODENT'S REAR END IF YOU HAVE HEARD IT OR NOT AND I AM NOT BEING RUDE, JUST HONEST AND REALISTIC. DO YOU SUPPOSE THERE ARE MANY RATS THAT RESIDE WITHIN THE PERIMETER OF THE FENCE THAT SURROUNDS THIS POWER STATION? AND IF THERE ARE SUCH RODENTS ZIPPING ABOUT, DO YOU FEEL THAT THEY HAVE ABSORBED ANY TOXIC MINERALS IN THEIR MOLECULES? BUT HERE'S A THOUGHT I DO WANT TO SHARE SINCE IT HAS BEEN MENTIONED: RATS THAT MAY HAVE ABSORBED SUCH FOREIGN ELEMENTS MIGHT HAVE DEVELOPED A TOLERANCE (THEY ALWAYS DO) AND MIGHT, I SAY MIGHT, BECOME A SUPER RAT, A REAL BAD ASS MEAN ASS RAT THAT MIGHT DESTROY SOCIETY AND CULTURE AS WE KNOW IT NOW. WHAT? YOU SAY THAT IT COULDN'T GET MUCH WORSE. NO, NO, ONE MUST HAVE HOPE, A POSITIVE ATTITUDE FOR THERE WILL ALWAYS BE RATS AMONG US. WHO WAS IT THAT SAID THAT, "YE SHALL ALWAYS HAVE THE RATS AMONGST YE"? WHATEVER, WE KNOW WE HAVE THE POOR, THE RICH, THE FREE, THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY, SO WHAT ELSE IS NEW? HEY, I AM JUST GLAD TO BE ALIVE AND FREE AND NEITHER RICH NOR POOR, BUT SUFFICIENT ENERGY TO SURVIVE AND LOOK FORWARD TO YET ANOTHER DAY.
