all those good things

you said, "you can't see for the brightness of the light"
squinting, "no, it's brilliant--blinding and all those good things"
"you look as if daylight is unfamiliar"
"it is"
...
"artifical light is, well, ... artificial"

my head turning,
the nod,
"true"


the fire that burns within us--
this is what battles artificial light?
