Blind
from birth
the Present
exists
only as a darkness
with voices
floating
on the surface
of
it.
Each eye
oddly a different colour.
One glows green
one blooms a brilliant blue
hidden behind
dark glasses
which when
he removes them
looks alien
dangerous
and perhaps
he is.
Green eye
sees only
(the Past) .
Blue eye
only sees
the (Future)
Seeing nothing...yet... seeing all.
Time visits him
& he sees
what is to be
what is...past.
Only the Present
exists
as a
darkness
voices floating
on the surface
of
it.
Tears in his eyes.
