Terrific metaphor -- so apt right now. Coincidentally just finished a poem on the same, using electricity as a metaphor. Thanks, Carol.

Wow, this is wonderful! I love how the Oz metaphor works here, and the surprising hopefulness it suggests in the end. Thanks for this!

Perfect extended metaphor for a sorry state of affairs! Last graf a dagger of a walkoff. Go, Carol!🌷
