Luyện nghe bài hát The Jeweller

Very slowly he his tea
Not his glance from the thick double
Spaced printing he read with his eye

Engrossed in his
He onto the other inhabitants of the room
A scrawled insularity of and space

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

He was hardly for his time
And conversation was not lost on him
Drastic were called for
And as in antiquity the lonely man was
wisdom to the point of desperation

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

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

"What this word mean?"
He enquired of the solemn hopefully
"Nothing for desert sir", the reply
"Perhaps a cocktail, demitasse or a essence
It the breathing you know sometimes"
"The bill, if you don't mind", he shot back

And as the patter of the feet faded in the
For he heard them now, his eye slowly began to close
And by the time he on the sunny street
He was forced to rely entirely on the other eye for

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

So turning into his
He stopped at the drug store and bought an eye
That soon the reluctant eye

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

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

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

But in the deep dark recesses of that sticky
Lay the unclosing eye of disgust in its closing moments
forward and hungry for the cold light of days
