Blow for Blow They Matched Each Other
Blow for blow,
they matched each other.
Neither would fall to the other.
In the eyes of the crowd,
they were this.
Equal.

I Drift Forever With The Current
I drift forever with the current
down these long canals they’ve made
Tame, yet wild, I run elusive

But though I might make living easy,
I’m good at killing people too.
Electricity (or lightning).
