superhero poem

Magnetospheric Eternally Collapsing Object

Darkness allows me to do amazing things.
From my bed I can listen to the silence welling outside your room.
I can take the silence and fashion a small star out of it.
I can glue it to your ceiling while you sleep.
I can add color to the silence and use it as paint.
I can paint a small red flower on the back of my hand.
I can plunge my hands in the sink and watch the water turn red.
I can touch the back of my hand to the back of your neck.
It's like touching an electric fence that hasn't been left on.
