absolute power corrupts, abso-
lutely. i understand this
when i balance three eggs in my hand
still warm, freshly plucked from under the hen
and i contemplate how easy it would be
to smash them right there on the driveway.
or, when i drone along the freeway
and my mind drifts to a quick jolt of the wheel
ending with a smoldering wreckage.
i suppose i prefer exacting my power
over dragon's tongue bush beans
and aunt ruby's german green heirloom tomatoes.
