Boksin takana on Jarkko Laineen teksti kirjasta Nauta Lentää (1973)

Puutalojen myötä kaikkosivat,
mustapalttoiset mummot, toimettomat ukot,
alkusyksyn taivaassa on joskus heidän
silmiensä väri.

Turku Energia Sähköverkot Oy:n yli 2700 sähkönjakelukaapista jo noin 300:ssa kaapissa sekä kolmessa sähkömuuntamossa on maisemaa kaunistava taiteellinen kuosi.
