White canvas of light
illuminating brightened room
as stars in the firmament
but manufactured and installed

Contained in rectangular prison
hanging over head
grafted into rows and columns
turned on and off by switch

One flickers ready for decommission
the rest shine in resounding unison
Signalling non-uniformity
shining for resolution
