Blow out an eardrum,
black out
and weld your wedding band to the bone.
If you are not struck, you must
humble yourself to power,
cultivate the state of waking,
and remember your commitments.
If you live long enough
you might see ball lightning.
Grandma did.
It came in the window,
whisked around the room
and went back out.
In such a case, there is nothing to do
except be Grandma,
and leave a little spark
in your eye for the grandchildren.
