Potential energy

I like the idea of potential energy:
Shock absorbers, 
Vigilant grand-aunts;
A world where consequence lies in wait.

The dam’s face, mighty and ordered,
The waiting lake that drowns dissent,
The steady releases the turbines run on,
The hungry deluge when the storm comes.

I relate to it—
An appearance of composure
And a store of suffering 

Have their uses.
