Blank and Block Continue

Block stays solid in the afternoon As all good cubes should do Past, present and the future contemplated They remain the same and never change Blank stares strait ahead in one direction Contributes very little to society Casting no reflection on the ocean Simply sits and waits for it to stop Seashore swells with anticipation Day and waves break there together In the morning Blank continues Nothing there on the nothing new Even with bright sun light looking on It too shows indifference to the dawn There, expressionless, becoming dim Blank waits for it to set Circles come to life to populate the world There is no question this is strange behavior Blank and Block pause to reflect Refuse to give an inch to reason Blank and Block continue, rarely think about extinction That is not what they are paid to do Circles have every right to occupy their space Even if Blank and Block become replaced
