Abstract
I give an exact but deconstructed version of the second-order wave-like equation that encapsulates the hydrodynamic model for plasmonics. Comprising two first order equations, the deconstruction has potential uses in understanding or interpreting the hydrodynamic model, since its meaning is not obscured by approximation. However, as the physical interpretation of the deconstructed model is difficult, due to the choice of the polarization as the significant quantity, I also consider a alternate model based on the polarization current. This alternate model has a clear and direct physical interpretation.
