Steamed veggies and poetry

Had steamed veggies last night -- broccoli, yellow potatoes, carrots, purple cabbage -- with melted butter and grated cheddar cheese.

Afterward, I was playing my word game to unwind.

"Hey, listen to this poem I just wrote," said Jeff, coming out of his room. I logged out. He shut off all the lights, lit two candles, and recited. Laying on the couch in darkness I realized --

-- some days I really need that: art and fire to appear, imperative, in the dark.

sounds nice, relaxing, and like you could give a really good opinion of the poem (the lights off would shut down at least one of your senses, if not more)
