did you go rub that
balloon in your hair?
is that why it sticks
on the wall up there?
i don’t need your static
so please don’t touch me
ow! must you pass spark
of personal electricity?!
boys are such joys —
he laughs ecstatically

It was so fun playing with static… a lot of fun sparking the ear of someone.

I had completely forgotten about that little trick! This was a fun read. I enjoyed the sway of the rhyme and your different uses of “static”.
