And yet I cannot bring myself to care.
How is it different than what came before?
Why should it matter that the light has gone?
The dark of night is not a cause for fear--
Everything that's in it now was there
During the daylight. So is there any more
Reason to be worried, to go on
And on about the falling darkness? No.
It is a change, but it is not a fault.
And as I watch the flashing headlights go
Winking out as each comes to a halt
I think I might prefer the dark of night
When each of us provides a little light.
