The Blind Passanger (stowaway) is transmitting 33 telegrams to the Moon i.e., the Moon's Lighthouse Keeper, by Morse code and switching the lights on and off. He is sending the telegrams from different locations and through different transmitters, always trying to re-establish contact. On his journey, he is using the street and private lights and by doing so he turns them into Poetry Transmitters, always letting the passerbys and poets to use them too for their own attempts and poems. He is turning the Transimtters into the Lighthouses that emit light signals only to entice the poets to partake i.e., to send their messages back. He is creating a poetry collection made of the light signals that navigate the sailing, the movement, the light or that is, the poet's visibility. He is mapping the Poetry Transmitters and charts them in the nautical map as lighthouses.
