OCTPOWRIMO 2026-Number 9-Dimmer Switch:

"Two modes are expected by the buyer
But if we said that, we'd be the liar!
This baby comes pre-conditioned to turn
For times of sleep and times to learn!"

Crappy cameras and a bent green screen
An unpaid intern, scribbling to glean

"Just why should you buy our product over others?
Simple! You'll need nothing from our marketable brothers!
It helps you make the best of time, for all in your life!
Shadow puppets, early rises, unnecessary social strife!"

Slurping straws from an empty cup
Nibbling their topper, a grumpy pup

"Stars on the ceiling will glow and dim!
Imagination will fester, boredom grows slim!
Think of the worlds found between the shadows!
One, two, punch! That's the lazy option we expose!"

Yawning, stumbling, to turn the camera off
Ending recording with an unedited cough

The well dressed man with the unkempt hair
Walks to the intern, looking for a share

"Got any left? My throat's drier than the desert!"

Ice shakes loose, making light of his effort.

Marble surface.
Warm brass.
One quiet dimmer detail.

The hardware should belong to the wall, not interrupt it.
