a skirt-like guard surround the lightbulb
its reflection on the wall altered by it,
on then off the lightbulb flashes, its
original position does not change...
counter measures are formed by
circumstance, and are unlike the
lightbulb yet they appear and they
disappear at will... we honor those
who have served with light and those
who have not with darkness... and, it
is the darkness they prefer, not wanting
to risk their lives for those who don't
care... discounts are given appropriately
to those who have stepped up but
unlike the lightbulb they never shine
or cast illumination on the life that is
all around them... they are creatures of
the night even though they have been
given light, wasting not the utilities
it would take to operate... they are a
strange breed these lightbulb receivers
as they have nowhere else to go now.
