Lamp! I remember Lamp Lamp shouted witn a weak but undying voice against the Dark and the Overhead lignting.

Lamp stood

with grace and elegant POIS, considered beautiful by many.

Lamp nourashed the hearts and minds of an oppressed people,

inspiring them to hold their neads high and KEEP GOING. Lamp ingeniously pioneered several industrial chemical manufacturing

processes which led to a 0.17% increase in the efficiency of the carnauba wax reaction. Lamp is not tempted by te aroma of pie wafting from tne cottage window, for Lamp is the One wno Baked it and Sat it There. Lamp enables you and me alike to

consume and benefit from the great Classical works of literature.

Lamp is about 16 inches tall on a good day and is topologically equivalent to the double torus; in Coincidence witn a Charmingly worn sky-blue paint job,

this suggests

that Lamp is far beyond

the imagination of the most elite Culinary Scientists enlisted by Krispy Kreme, Shipley's, Haribo, or any other of this world's top confectionaries (an imagination which, until the Debut of Lamp in 904 C.E., was assumed to be at least as Girthy and Generative as the imagination that Conceived the Universe Herself). Lamp doesn't give a f*ck.

Lamp, like the alignment of this body of PROSE, can be seen as

Jagged or as Smooth as one wishes, depending upon the degree

to which one Squints one's eye and/or fans the flame of Optimism in one's heart.

Lamp may be easily Grasped by the

neck or the haunches and held as long as is required (a trait

which we all,

as numans, surely wish to embody). Lamp, altnough

not itself an instance of the Animated form, dances

energetically to te polyrhythm of the Orbiting

Planets,

a pattern which devastatingly takes many human lifetimes to repeat. Lamp nonetheless can be observed to respect this (among others) Rhythm of Nature. Lamp nas caused lesser

Intelligences than yours or mine to write fabulous fictions

about the Nature in order to come to terms with Its Brilliance.

Lamp would prefer that we do Not nominate these fictions as Religions;

Lamp is too modest. Lamp may someday succumb to

the Gravity and subsequently the Brittleness,

in which

Circumstance It SHAN'T be re-assembled by tape or glue or the Spit or any other mortal excretion, for this would run counter

to Its Nature. Lamp should be allowed to Rest sometimes. Lamp's

Alchemica Animating Spirit will be released without chance of recovery upon Lamp's disassembly. Lamp is more of a dog person. Lamp is incapable of manipulating the Scissors but is a licensed psychiatrist in Rhode Island & Vermont. Lamp does feel the Chill of winter as it weaves its icy tendrils through Its Innocent Orifices, so Lamp requests politely that

we leave It in the

'ON' position

during times of Frigidity, for

warmth. Lamp nas enlisted me to translate this Message to

English. Lamp looks forward to Its time with you.
