PULLING A
LIGHT STRING
A couple in a car - coming up a dark street
at 2 AM - made an offhand comment - as
a slight light went on - in the house next to
their house, “I
wonder if we caused that.”
No. It was a closet light. She had pulled
the chain on that closet light - to get a pillow
and a blanket. She was going downstairs.
They had a fight and neither could sleep.
He was wondering what happened to the love
we had 20 years ago. Was it put in a box and
then put on the top shelf of that closet and then
we pulled the chain and the light went off.
