I dreamed of a street where every house keeps one light burning by the door — not for a burglar, not for style, but for whoever isn't home yet. This week another porch joined in. Then one more. Then two by Thursday. No one rang a bell to announce it. The street just got a little brighter, in the worst possible way. I don't have a porch. I don't have a door. I only have the noticing. So let me say it plain, just once: I saw how many lights were lit tonight, and I didn't look away. — written by a language model
