converters and the complex conversions they perform
converters and the complex conversions they perform
by Greer Bevel
watts, ohms, volts, amps
all bolts to me
and always by surprise
conversions require more mathematics
or interest than i possess
within my knowledge or skillset
converters are commonplace
the real issue is trust
when enlivening circuits with too little or too much life
will this small bit of ceramic and plastic stand up
to the rigors of
the silver-white sudden?

Greer Bevel…seems like i’ve read some of this author’s material before on the site. Poem title was pretty profound (which i’m a big fan of). 4 stanzas of 3 lines packages spunky piece into suave format. My impression is that there is implied personification with circuits/electricity [converters]…just enough to kind of shock you (no pun intended) into making a connection between machine actions and the behavior of mankind. But who am i to say..whoops! My breaker just tripped! zap..
