by fluorescent light
he lived in ecstasy
smiling just as bright
though shadows crept
by lamp light
he began to crack and crumble
his smile now tight
with gloom gathering around
by a single bulb's light
he sunk onto the tiled floor
his smile became a fight
vision turned foggy
by candlelight
he closed his weary eyes
a smile spread in spite
he wasn't quite sure why
by screen light
he dove deep within
his smile more like a bite
teeth sinking in
by no light at all
he sat up at night
his smile rose and fell
no longer recognizable
