this evening's walk--minus the frenzied articulated snowman that haunts the corner--had us dodging prowling autos. lights. they're having display-offs out there. more is more. they keep mounting. do they have shingles? no longer. the rafters are lights. timbered in lights. even the lights have lights. the cars have lights. the sheds have lights. like passing through a lantern fish forest.
