A light to initiate your first sense of sight,
but sending your notion through sparks -
isn't what you signed up for.

the drop it takes to the table, to the bed,
to the bottom of your pocket,
until you want to try again.

unsure of what grip it will take to,
what it will feel comfortable in responding to.
is your hand strong enough?

why build this holder for such a
rough launch, not able to even bring it to words.

But why do you keep the lighter that wont work for you,
on your initiation?
are you aware of its potential if it was treated correctly?
if you continued to grip it, the way it felt seen.

The same lighter will stay at the bottom of your pocket,
as you go through all the others that will work at the click
of your fingers.
Until you have no other option, until you think it's worth,
to make working.
