That light bulb says, “Touch Me”
You reach out to it
It pulls you, you can’t help it
As your palm gets closer
The light bulb changes colors
Your arm relaxes and your wrist cocks up
Eyelids, mouth close softly
Bright blue now the air seems to be vibrating
You sense the light bulb’s energy
Your palm makes soft contact
And in that very instant
Before anything else happens
You feel like you’re underwater
Holding your breath
Your body in harmony
She comes to you
But she falls back into a bright light
There’s no chance, no chance
You suddenly open your eyes
An the bulb shatters
Your palm turns to pink, scarlet
Laying on the shimmering floor
There’s no chance, no chance
But you saw her
She came to you
It was just one instant
There’s no chance, no chance
