DON’T TORCH IT
DON’T TORCH IT
Carrying a torch for a flame thrower.
… Switch to a lantern’s got/get a handle on it.
The heat of the fire, though: intensity!
…Stay the lit path, longevity.
Cursing swelter in the sunlight.
…Cool, calm, balance by moonlight.
Carrying a torch for a flame thrower,
girl, you’re both going to get burned.
(Do you burn if you’re electrified?)
