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
