He is an electrical engineer;

that means he works at conducting electricity.
His weekend's intensified by layers of militant carbon.
The edge of the soil is Earth's electrical blade.

300,000 rivers and reservoirs,
Outpouring the border.

Because Monday broke in thousands,
And failed their system.
