The grand spotlights search for God.
************************************************************************
Fluorescent tubes suffer from epilepsy.
************************************************************************
When the cicada shuts up suddenly, there seems
to have been an electrical breakdown.
************************************************************************
Light bulbs know how to quiet their lights.
************************************************************************
The streetlights of the city night turn into
spotlights with their mustaches of light and their humid reflections.
************************************************************************
The electric lamps die of fright.
************************************************************************
The electric light killed all the gas
butterflies.
