dishwasher safe

and UV resistant

I watched as the last of the neon lights tapped out.

Once aglow so decisively, it began to flicker at irregular intervals; and then burned almost convulsively for a few ticks. After one last determined, full-second flare, it flicked out. No vestiges of its being there before. None except for that all-before dazzling image tucked underneath my eyelids.

And that small intangible light I’ll take with me through the night, with hope that tomorrow, I’ll see you, and hold you again…

But for now, until then, let me bask in your afterglow --even only as I go to slumber, my dear funky old ‘puter.
