The Depth of the Zone

Posted on October 27, 2025October 27, 2025

How could they miss that, they gripe.
Why can’t they see?
Who’s training these guys,
don’t they have a TV?

This isn’t rocket science,
the box is right there.
Could it be that they don’t know,
or not really care?

Perhaps they made a bet
or need to get their eyes checked.
Maybe something’s wrong at home
and their life is a wreck.
