Late at night.

I was sitting in the dark when the lights went out. Rather, had the lights been on they would have gone off, but I didn’t notice because it was already dark.

Electricity is a vivrant thing, but it lost its potential when I stopped the flow. It could no longer stop its own.

Is it possible to cease if you do not exist? This sounds a bit like falling trees in an empty wood, to be sure, but it may well illuminate the secret of bending spoons.

I stood up and pulled the string but the sleeping bulb slept on. Suddenly there was a lack where before there had been nothing at all. It’s only in the contrast that life begins to take its form. Shadows help us to see the places light has been.

    So, I just realized that “vivrant” isn’t actually a word other folks use, but that’s okay. My tribute to Q-tip still stands, and I will not change it, unless he asks me to.
