Hoping for Token Sighs
(A Benediction)

My eyes are open,
Always open,
Ever and always open,
Ever and always and always and ever open,
 
My eyes are hoping,
Always hoping,
Ever and always hoping,
Ever and always and always and ever hoping,
 
Hoping your sighs will be
Not giant-sized,
Will be
Ever and always and always and ever be token.
 
My eyes are open,
Open and hoping,
Always open,
Ever and always hoping,
Hoping your sighs won’t be
Giant-sized sighs,
Will be
Never and ever be never be more than just token.
