28/28- Sparks

Oblique Strategy: How would you have done it?

28- Sparks

Do they call it a socket because what resides inside can see it all
That which rests in the gap in the wall can see but it merely can't recall

Take this light reactive glowbird, for example
If I stick my thumb oer the sensor
I can sit and watch it shine

But instead I let it wait and wait until the proper time
To trick a canary's bad luck
And anyway, the darkness is fine

But just to show, you know- how so long as the juice is flowing
It can circulate the current but can't receive anything back
It can know without truly knowing

And glow without truly glowing, or so i've found
No permanence in this object, just a hollow sound
Echoes of a brighter tone once
That all got ran into the ground

Now

Back to the question at hand, as i've found my way far off the beaten path
A final suggestion-
Do they call it a socket
Because you're supposed to jam a fork into it
