UNTITLED POEM #22
There's a light bulb in the patio
Old and probably defective
It flickers in desperation
Wanting to be changed
To be replaced by a far better version of itself
One more bright
One more useful
One that isn't simply a waste of electricity
But no one notices it
Even as it lights the darkest nights with its dim light
No one notices it
Because it is in the patio
Everyone inside thinks it's still working fine
Working properly
They are wrong
The thick walls and the screen doors block their view
And in time they forgot
About the light bulb in the patio
And the dim light it gives.
No one changed the light,
It broke
(A4.19)
