Hiya Sparky!

you are here without playmates
passing the time swapping your remaining hours
for meager paychecks
ticking off carefully
one bill after another
called in to you by telephone
paying, almost contentedly,
like a faithful slave

someone who apparently observed you
in the past says it is a shame
having watched your spark,
once so bright and hot,
flicker and snuff
the way it
has
