The Wire and the Mind: Free Verse

What is a wire?
A small mental cord made up of individual strings wound together
And yet strong enough to pass an electrical current
The weight of the universe, the foundation of our word today
In the hands of a few little wires

And what are they to us?
Nothing, merely another cog in the machine

But give a wire to someone else
And they may not see what you see
Not just a tool but a door
An opening to such great desires that manifest in the palm of your hand

And then you no longer have just a wire
You have an thought
A window to the soul
That is what he saw

Do you?
