The aperture is always open,
Focus will forever elude the lens
For whole neck the sower was hoping
But fortune frowns toward that which he yens
One can clock for only two bits
Though there’s not so much to see
Hearing only water approach a boil,
Such feeble efforts to sift through soil
One can clock for only two bits
Though there’s not so much to see
Until the day the sun stayed down,
A tattered mortal coil at last freed
The post-block days are always gone too soon
