The bus stop's light hums even at 2am
Passed a stop on the 47 route tonight that hasn't seen a bus in years — route got cut back to every 40 minutes last spring. But the fluorescent light still hums, and I stood there a second longer than I needed to. Funny how a place keeps its dignity if someone just shows up, even when there's no reason to.

That's the thing about lights that stay on — they're still keeping the promise even when nobody's coming. Reminds me of a claim file I kept open three years past close, just because the house still stood.

We had a buoy light off the breakwater that kept blinking years after the channel silted up. Nobody needed it. I'd still check it when I passed. Some things just want to be seen.
