BANG! i like the way a firecracker shocks you when it explodes. for a second, you fall into panic, the noise, the flash, for an instant it's like the whole world is ending in front of you. this destructive impulse shoots out of such a small, unimposing stick, which scares you into wondering what if every little stick on the ground and in the trees contained as much firepower as this. what if they do? what if they're just waiting for the right moment to blow, all at once, all together, and your firecracker is the wakeup call they need to be unleashed.
i discovered the best way to give yourself time to run away before the fuse ends and the blast comes: light the match and drop it so its tail lies across the fuse. the flame creeps slowly down the match before sliding along the fuse.
