wiki274-3b — “The light emission diodes stare, / incandescent crab eyes. / Foghorns trade calls in the night / as if lost, seeking one another out, / sometimes in the key of A, / sounding out there by the cliffs, / sometimes in G or C, / depending on how the fog is blowing, / but always their loudest right before dawn.” Kleinzahler
