Luyện nghe bài hát The Jeweller

Very he sipped his tea
Not shifting his glance the thick double
Spaced printing he read with his eye

in his corner
He passed onto the inhabitants of the room
A insularity of time and space

For both passed him by the speed of light
Not unlike the flow of substance varied
that lysergic entity known as the black hole

He was hardly ugly for his
And was certainly not lost on him
Drastic measures called for
And as in antiquity the lonely man was
With wisdom to the point of

But there in his corner, around him
Like a sun was a of such rare beauty
That sight and sound could no be considered
Sufficient food for the

And he had begun to notice as his hearing
That mind and matter in no way connected to one other
As if in fact the one could not and prove
Its existence in terms of the other

"What this word mean?"
He enquired of the waiter hopefully
"Nothing for desert sir", came the
"Perhaps a cocktail, demitasse or a herbal
It helps the breathing you sometimes"
"The bill, if you don't mind", quickly he shot

And as the patter of the faded in the room
For he barely heard them now, his eye slowly began to
And by the time he emerged on the street
He was forced to rely entirely on the eye for help

But happily it continued its functions
Blinking for lubrication and registering images
It was hour in Hawaii only ten a.m.

So into his street
He stopped at the store and bought an eye patch
soon covered the reluctant eye

Climbing the stairs he pondered to do next
He call a doctor and have tests made
Eat food and if necessary consent to surgery
The last of the gambling man

And at one a.m. he awoke from a
And after fumbling his way in the light of his room
He peered the rusty veins of his mirror
And lifted away the patch, what he saw him

Where once was tremulous tissue and
Was now a follicle and perfectly formed with vulva
Overgrown and mysterious, unrevealing and still to the eye

But in the dark recesses of that sticky occlusion
Lay the unclosing watchful eye of disgust in its closing
Lunging and hungry for the cold light of days
