Blinded

The room is dark. The desk lamp is on. The lamp’s semi-spherical head is supported by a narrow and bendable neck that leans over the desk. The light bulb drops from the lamp. It lands on a patch of papers. It doesn’t break. Now it rolls helplessly side-to-side, like an eyeball, and the lamp, a bare eye socket. I should not be able to see this latter part because the room should have now been completely dark.
