Circumambient gloom of the circuit of the valley
I explored as a circuit rider
Failed to introduce enough resistance to my passage,
But as darkness was setting in
My energy was transformed into heat.
Unable to bear this high degree of warmth,
I boarded a busbar
To the nearest station,
Intending to impress the neighbouring charges
That would help me build my potential.
I could not bring my idea to full fruition,
As the station did not house devices
Through which I could pass in one direction.
Therefore, I made my way
To the next station.
In transitu, I met someone fascinating—
He had the property by virtue of which
He could induce a force
As long as he had me,
Or rather, my mood swings.
A strange desire was born of this experience.
How electropositive he seemed!
How electropolished he made me feel!
Together, we would fight the circumambient gloom.
Together, we would invalidate our enemies by inductothermy.
Together, we would take charge of the entire station.
And together, we would show the world our enormous power.
Without further delay,
He and I headed to the next station relay,
Where there was no trouble in generation,
And where the switch was never returned to the off position.
It was, in retrospect, the happiest day of my life.
