Artificial energy
Is wrestling my mind
I've got a strange feeling
I'm going to die before my time

I'm coming down off amphetamine
And I'm in jail 'cause I killed the queen

Time for the naming contest to begin. I'll start with the Kay Kyser Kollege of Knowledge in honor of one of UNC's best alums and is spelling choices.

In the earlier post in which I drew from them I used their logo-ed page. In this case, I'm posting directly from the Provost's link having not yet read TBB. I do love them and respect them.

Einstein’s Happiest Moment
-Richard Berlin

Einstein’s happiest moment
occurred when he realized
a falling man falling
beside a falling apple
could also be described
as an apple and a man at rest
while the world falls around them

And my happiest moment

I won't take all that they hand me down
Make out a smile, though I wear a frown
And I'm not gonna take it all lying down
'Cause once I get started, I go to town
'Cause I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else
I'm not like everybody else

I Sing The Body Electric- Fame

Smalljones aka Paul Jones @smalljones.bsky.social · 2d

I sing the body electric
I celebrate the me yet come
I toast to my own reunion
When I become one with the sun
And I'll look back on Venus
I'll look back on Mars
And I'll burn with the fire
Of ten million stars
And in time and in time
We will all be stars

All along the Eastern shore
Put your circuits in the sea
This is what the world is for
Making electricity
You can feel it in your mind
Oh, you can do it all the time
Plug it in, change the world
You are my electric girl
I said, "ooh, girl
Shock me like an electric eel

Ode to the Electric Fish that Eat Only the Tails of Other Electric…

Ode to the Electric Fish that Eat Only the Tails of Other Electric Fish,
-Thomas Lux

which regenerate their tails
and also eat only the tails of other electric eels,
presumably smaller, who, in turn, eat ...
Without consulting an ichthyologist — eels
are fish — I defer to biology’s genius.
[...]

All I know is it seems sensible, sustainable: no fish dies, nobody ever gets so hungry he bites off more than a tail; the sting, the trauma keeps the bitten fish lean and alert.
