BATHROOM

Wow. A string of incandescent bulbs you say?

They must be pretty. Do they burn hot?

So many questions, I know. It's just that everything -

All illumination - seems to be LED these days.

Exactly. We're old fogies who've forgotten, yet who remember!

You sound upset... Oh no! Really?

One of the bulbs popped when it hit the floor?

Well, I'm sure there's more

Amber-tinted glass where that came from...

[NOTE: I set myself to decorating my bathroom today - indeed, I quite splurged my meager wherewithal this week just to improve it cosmetically, and to make it more functional. What I end up with is a genteel, middlebrow indictment of America and its uglinesses. This should now be considered a vulgar poem - my latest intention with it... Let's make it popular! Yes please thank you 🙏]
