The Third Eye

Just now with my third eye I see,

That a crack has formed in the universe.

You frown, become silent, glare in that way you do.

Something I said, something I let slip out loud.

Lock me up in the cosmic jail and throw away the key.

I've violated some agreed upon taboo

And am declared a leper.

You won't speak to me except in terse phrases.

I am punished for my insolence by more insolence.

Then the Red Sea parts and I escape to a happier place.

I am eventually forgiven, but I neve forget.
