Flick of the Switch

[Trevor Mcpherson]

What must the world look like to light bulbs?

All scalps and cleavage, tips of noses and the occasional pair of protruding ears.
In empty rooms, just dust. Perhaps a few dirty footprints, and the stains left by un-coastered cups.

A light bulb would know about the time your parents were out of town, and you and an old flame drank their liquor and replaced it with water, then made love on their king size bed.

It is no small blessing that when light bulbs blacken and die, they take their stories with them.

This is a great one!

[MartiW]

How'd I miss this gem? Never mind, rhetorical question.

[felixmind]

and they all wonder why i like lights out all nights?

Seven Six!
i mean, perfect six!

[John Wiswell]

Ha! Another of those thoughts I'd never have without reading your work, Trevor.

[Bob Clay]

"Let there be light," said god. And a technicians voice was heard to say .. "shit, the bulb's gone."

I like the overhead perspective of this.

[Rayne Debski]

Hmmm...think I'll go cover the light bulbs. Thanks for making me smile.

[JMac]

All the more reason to do it in the dark...

[Jay Holmes]

Ahhhh....the ol' drink the parents alcohol and replace it with water trick.

Half the light bulbs in my house are blown out right now, it's so dark my wife and I pass each other in the hallway like ghosts.

Your illumination rumination shines new light on the dim, dust covered discards.
