Stub: Assurance Optics

Awaiting context
The record is totally bare
Pending binding soon

Bent steel wire falls out The stray staple ruins all Worlds end in the tray

Tape holds the frayed edge Temporary patches dry Eternity waits

Rest request verb falls A single word is blocked out Silence claims the void

Yellow slip misfiled The heavy burden drops down Ages mourn this loss

Op-tics loose their light Re-cord gap re-mains voided Sys-tem waits in vain

As-sur-ance rots a-way Se-ven ze-ro casts no shade Pock-et tears a-part

Con-text bleeds dry now F R E F leaves no mark at all Stub is cold and dead

Bin-ding de-layed long Emp-ty fields mock the as-set We sit in the dark
