Lyrics
Under the bench lamp, the rubber tube lies
still
A row of glass hairs waits beneath the drill
I turn the collar gently
Check the seam for light
Each strand has one small job to do
tonight
In the scope room, steady hands
Thread the light through, narrow lens
Tiny camera, clear and true
Find the path that runs inside
you
bead of adhesive measured to a breath
The bundle fans lie grasped beneath the
lens
I see the micro -eye, then test
the image twice A pale blue circle
opens sharp as ice
In the scope room, steady hands
Thread the light through narrow lens,
tiny camera, clear and true, find the path
That runs inside you
No room for force, no room for haste
A patient touch, a careful trace
Spend it once, then let it rest
The smallest fibers pass the test
The picture holds, the cable bends
The quiet tool goes back
again
