I awakened to butterscotch sunshine, pouring through my window;
And I lay there for some moments, feeling the balmy wind blow.
I would have basked in it longer, save for a job that I enjoyed;
And being late was the one thing, I'd always attempted to avoid.

First, fast and fittest
Countless sperms crawl in the ovum
Of the pregnant platform;

With their cool-mindedness
Or heating even Oymyakon, the coldest
With their hot blood.
