The lights flickered again,
I heard a few chimes exit stage left.
Clock ticks simultaneously
battle the dog barking down the street.
How many lights can we leave on?
Model home.
Cardboard TV.
Mirage garage door.
Thursday evening
rattles its own bones,
shivers off street light shadow tears,
we close our shutter eyes.
And tell our hearts to aim for
what is best for only us.
