Mary is shopping for lamps,
\nenough for our living room.
\nWas creation looking for lamps
\nwhen the first star was born?
\nSomething to see by in caves,
\nnights shaping up around planets,
\nfish in the dark fathoms
\nof the sea.<\/p>\n
We need them for reading,
\nto avoid bumping into furniture,
\nand see more than our hands
\ncan tell us,
\nour ears can hear,
\nour noses detect and smell.<\/p>\n
And perhaps somewhere
\nthere are universal lamps
\nthat can illumine everything.
\nLet us see inside, outside,
\nand invisibles.
\nOne for every room,
\nsuch that nothing can be hidden anymore,
\nand a lie
\nwould be as rare as the truth is now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
