My parents were kerosene lamps but my father ran out on us
My dad was a zippo. Ran out for cigs one day and never came back
It ended up as a little too much of a rant, but im just having fun here

Im sorry, but that’s just not the reason you would give up on a lamp, unless you are using some weird new tech bullshit. A lamp is two wires (sometimes three), a special lightbulb socket, a switch (technically in my own experience optional, but I was being a bit stupid, fixed it tho) and thats it. Its more complicated for LEDs, but we got led lightbulbs already, everything that could break is within that. Ive went through a couple of lamps and the reason Ive thrown them out was in most cases the plastic casing breaking. Sometimes the electric isolation gets worn down exposing a live wire - you throw that out because that’s a health and fire hazard. Rarely there is a problem with the connectors, but in the one and only case Ive seen that makes the light dim, unstable, and emits a constant buzz. Obviously bad, technically functional. Overall a lamp is pretty much the very simplest house appliance youve got, and because of that the points of failure are limited

Once upon a time there was a meeting of minds.
The sun and the moon made a deal with the sky.
One would take the morning and the other the night
Together they would blanket the world with light.
But the moon has a shadow, he felt like a liar.
The sun was the only one who carried the fire.
The sun saw this, she kept on glowing.
Bound to the moon, never saying “you owe me”
She said I’ll shine on you.
- Mraz based on poetry by Rumi
Damnit, now I love lamp.
Are you a moth?
No but if you know a good podiatrist let me know
I know a guy named Gregory Illinavich, does that help? He’s not a great boss though, really likes holding his power over his employees.
I’ve got a secret to tell, from my electrical well
It’s a simple message
and I’m leaving out the whistles and bellsso the room must listen to me, filibuster vigilantly, my name is blue canary, one note spelled LITE
My story’s infinite
Like the Longines Symphonette,
it doesn’t rest
Silly lamp, the moon just reflects sunlight, you’re still admiring the Sun’s work!
All works are derivative
Really liked this one. Creative, smart, beautiful. Thanks for posting it.
I guess machines do Dream of Electric Sheep. Everybody has a dream.
