Jun Er

Electric Field

computer, telephone, mobile
lighting, plugs, charger for the mobile
here I am, sitting in my study
my books and the above-mentioned electricals around me
my heart splits in two
one half looks for peace in literature
the other rises agitated in those appliances
when electric currents of various frequencies pass through my flesh and blood
I become an electrified body unknown as yet to the cosmos
then I hear thunder
that thunder is electric thunder, the rain, electric rain
or perhaps it’s the other way round: I am an electron
and the world is a gigantic, furious electric field
