    Very slowly 
    he sipped 
    his 
    Verse 1
    tea, 

    not shifting his 
    glance 
    from the thick 
    double- spaced 
    printing he 
    read 
    with his jeweller's 
    eye 

    Engrossed 
    in his corner, 
    Verse 2
    he passed 
    onto the other inhabitants 

    of the room 
    a scrawled insularity 
    of time 
    and space 

    Verse 3
    For both passed 
    him by with 
    the speed of light, 
    not 
    unlike the flow 
    of substance, 

    however varied, 
    into that 
    lysergic entity 
    known as the black 
    hole 

    He was 
    hardly ugly 
    for his time, 
    and 
    conversation 
    was 
    cer
    tainly not 
    Verse 4

    lost on him 

    Drastic measures 
    were 
    called for, 

    and as in antiquity 
    the 
    lonely man 
    was blessed with wisdom 
    to the 
    point of desperation 

    Verse 5
    But there in his 
    corner, developing 
    around him 
    like a sun, 

    was a climate 
    of such rare 
    beauty that sight 
    and sound could no 
    longer be considered 
    sufficient food 
    for the 
    senses 

    And he had begun 
    to notice, 
    as his hearing 
    Verse 6
    failed, 
    that mind 
    and matter were in no 
    way connected to 
    one other, 

    as if 
    in fact the 
    one could not propose 
    and prove 
    its erotic existence 
    in terms 
    of the oth
    er 

    Verse 7
    "What does this 
    word mean?" he enquired 
    of the solemn 
    waiter hopefully 


    "Nothing for dessert 
    sir," came 
    the reply, "perhaps 
    a cocktail, 
    demitasse 
    or a 
    herbal essence, 

    it helps the 
    breath
    ing you know 
    some
    times." 
    "The bill, 
    if you don't mind," 
    quickly he shot 
    back 

    Verse 8
    And as the patter 
    of the feet faded 
    in the room, 
    for he barely heard 
    them now, 
    his eye slowly 
    began 
    to close, 
    and by the 
    time he emerged 
    on the 
    sunny street 
    he was 
    forced to rely entirely 
    on the other 
    eye for help, 

    but happily 
    it continued its 
    many functions, 
    blinking gently 
    for lubrication, 
    and registering images 

    Interlude 1
    It was rush 
    hour, 
    in Hawaii 
    only 
    10 am 


    Verse 9
    So, 
    turning 
    into his street, 

    he stopped 
    at the drug store 
    and bought an 
    eye patch 
    that soon 
    covered the 
    reluctant eye 

    Verse 10
    Climbing 
    the stairs 
    he pondered 
    what to do next, 
    he would call 
    a doctor and 
    have tests 
    made, 

    eat nourishing 
    food 
    and if necessary 
    consent to 
    surgery, 
    the last 
    re
    sort of the 
    gambling man 

    Verse 11
    And 
    at 1 am 
    he 
    awoke from a 
    dream 
    and after fumbling 
    his way 
    in the 
    obolescent light of his room 

    he peered 
    into the rusty 
    veins 
    of his mirror 
    and lifted away 
    the patch 

    What he saw astonished 
    him. 
    Where once 
    was tremulous 
    tissue and membrane 
    was now 
    a follicle 
    and perfectly formed 
    vagina with 
    vulva, 

    overgrown 
    and mysterious, 
    unrevealing 
    and still to the untrained 
    eye 

    Verse 12
    But in the 
    deep dark recesses 
    of that sticky 
    occlusion lay the unclosing 
    watchful 
    eye of disgust in 
    its closing moments, 

    Outro 1
    lunging 
    forward and hungry 
    for the cold light 
    of days

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
