Blue light bulbs glow not by day
When sisters kill the day for rest,
-day to get dressed.
To stare into a half broken mirror
That once before eviction belonged to Stella
Blue light bulbs rest by day.
Blue light bulbs are blind
They do not see their sisters’ unswept abode
Sisters slaughter smell with 'deos' cheaply bought
From down town illegal dealer
With hardy earned dollar bills.
Blue light bulbs sense of smell is blunt.
Blue light bulbs do not see
Neither the pants stashed into drawers
Stained with used oil in the showers,
Nor creased dresses spilling from an almost ripped up basket
To evade the dusty floor
Just before the clock strikes an evening three.
Blue light bulbs neither hear nor see
But I’m sure they can shade some dim light
On men’s pants lying tight
Each night in their blue bright
Cause blue light bulbs and sisters are one
They rest by day and work by night.
