The lightbulbs were plucked fresh from the fields. We noticed when they 
sang, as the tingling energy of solar-fueled electricity filled them. 
But we did not notice when they cried, as the candles were blown out.

"Is it hard to be a man?" the fish asked.

"Oh, actually, I'm not a man, I'm genderfluid," said Writer's Block Person.

"I know, I was using 'man' in the sense of 'human being'," said the fish.

"I think that meaning's kind of deprecated nowadays," said Writer's 
Block Person.

My head is burning
I take it out
Into my palms go the fire

And it sizzles and becomes words
And it becomes understanding and empathy and joy
The fire becomes a golden sunset
And I sleep
