Luyện nghe bài hát The Jeweller

Very slowly he his tea
Not his glance from the thick double
Spaced printing he read his jeweler's eye

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Climbing the he pondered what 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 a dream
And after fumbling his way in the light of his room
He peered into the rusty veins of his
And lifted the patch, what he saw astonished him

once was tremulous tissue and membrane
Was now a follicle and perfectly vagina with vulva
Overgrown and mysterious, unrevealing and to the untrained eye

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