Sparkies (Name-dropping)
Don’t want to set
the world on fire–
merely own a Masonlite
or barring that
a Thorens double-claw
(single-claw might do
but never mind Vedette)
and so on down-list:
Dome-style Kaschie
and a Negebauer
(not the knight or cannon!)
Working further down
an Evans lift-arm
and a Rama-spin
in better condition...
and a Regeliter with
all its jewels in place.
Old cigarette igniters,
“petrol” lighters
intersecting engineering
and production metal-art
with sparks struck on
ferrocerium, cleaned, lubricated,
fueled and working.
That’s to collect!
Smoke? Never!
