Why I Am Not a Poet, Pt 2

There is a sticky note on my monitor
to remind me of Ohm's Law:

Voltage Equals Current Times Resistance (E = IR)
Current Equals Voltage Over Resistance (I = E/R)
Resistance Equals Voltage Over Current (R = E/I)

There is a sticky note to my left, stuck on the wall.
It reads: "The pain of changing paradigms"

Behind me, is a bookshelf, inadequate
to the volume of books in my apartment.

And to my right, a MIDI keyboard
and a tangle of wires.
