In Chapter 23, Her Lips Are Copper Wire, is a five-stanza poem describing the attraction the narrator feels for a woman. The poem follows a metaphor of the woman's kiss as electric energy. Imagery used in the poem also includes the glow of lampposts, the city's power grid, and flashing, lighted billboards.
