Coiling Haikus

Cold, silent neon
I am inconsolable
Cruel E-Bay awaits

Copper tube so stiff
You mock my sweaty fingers
Coil. Mind. Both are warped

The NST which
Seemed so lovely on E-Bay
Arrived cold and dead

Throbbing pig of iron
Will you destroy my ballast?
Your coils pulse with fire

My E-Bay neon
Has arrived with bushings smashed
My tears consume me

Magnet wire so fine
More fragile than spider's web
Insanity reigns

The safety gap screams
Urgent alarm, you risk
All for longer sparks

Sinister pole pig
My trembling hand hovers near
The knife switch of doom

Oh fragile MOT stack
Why do you die so quickly?
Your cores are too small

Spun toroid so smooth
How nimbly you slip my grasp
To kiss the hard floor
