THE FIREMAN INVESTIGATES HYDROGEN ENERGY
The Fireman studies the nature of life,
the source of his life-energy,
and finds himself asking questions
about the quality of fuel.
Having read the prophets
of hydrogen fuel cells,
he now knows of decarbonization
and attempts to extrapolate a model
for all other types of fuel:
religion, literature, nutrition.
The real question for him
is how to burn bright
and hot and clean:
a true force of life
in the universe.
The real question, that is,
is how to be
a small sun.
