The Edison Poem, by Fred Wilder (c) 2011
The orange glow of a wire bent,
Trapped in a bottle, glass void the atmosphere Extinguish the dark day spent.
Creatures of the night have we all become.
Electric light is the spell brung. The Wizard of Menlo park released the nocturnal yearnings of the species Human. Once bound in chains forged in superstition of a setting sun, now freed by the amber flow Edison's magic bottles delivered us one by one.
