Battery Life

Sometimes morning walks through the fog are simply the close collections of
billions and billions of pixels
waiting to be taken captive

An odd display of footwear strangled on telephone wire
Punitive pumpkins methodically placed on the steps
Photogenic fungi dressed in the rouge of fall
An invasive squirrel jealously eying the fancy house cat
enjoying a queen's breakfast.

These moments of breathtaking brilliance!
And then...

Like the malfunctioning of a diver's oxygen tank

The flashing warning signs
The curse of technology
The catalyst of "I should have" thoughts
The realization that luck is simply preparation meets opportunity
and your artistic soul's dependence on electrons
and positive and negative energy
in its most literal sense
