When you capture my imagination, you liberate my soggy brain.  Like sheets alive on the line outside, my mind is  scrubbed with wind and sun.

Not so with other kinds of capture.  Last year, Obama and McCain swung through the swing states touting 'clean' coal to supply half the electricity of the nation.  Superhero technology to clean up coal-fired plants involves carbon capture.  In theory, dirty CO₂ emissions get pumped 2 miles underground where they do no harm.  Unless a seismic shift creates fissures leading up up and away into your basement, to kill you with odorless, poisonous fumes. 

It’s never been tested here.  Florida and other states refuse to indemnify coal companies against potential law suits.  So ‘clean’ coal technology lies dormant, a futuristic maybe that power plants and politicians use to their advantage.
