Eternity fears no time
Infinity dreads no miles
With no end at sight
Nor beginning of time


Infinite affection
In numb gesture
Eternal autism
Idleness in action

Infinity plays the blind
Eternity calls the bluff
Ulysses is jaded
Burt has a laugh

Eternal affection
Dazed gesture
With infinite autism
Idleness is action

Infinity atones
Eternity attunes
The swimmer’s trunks are tight
The sailor’s rag is loose

As eternity wearies
Infinity rolls to a halt
Hence swimmer and sailor
Will soon drift apart
