totems
my dad once told me about
a boy he served the Navy with
whose girlfriend ended things
across the sea
and over broadcast radio.
he took his broken heart
and then an axe
and turned them on the radio
destroying it
with Lizzie Borden zeal.
the totem needed to be killed
for taking on her voice
and ruining (he felt) his life
the box that stole his future wife

OUCH! It's true we attribute things to intangible objects; however, if everything is energy, as we are, then everything has a soul, as we do. But that's a comment for another time, with wine. lolol
