No Sunglasses Poem by Laurence Overmire

Look into my eye
What do you see?

Do you see the future
Do you see the past
Do you see the fire
Burning
Since the beginning of time?

Do you see the answer
Or the question
Do you see?
Do you understand?

Look carefully.

Look, before you cross the street.

If you don't look
You won't see
The truth barreling down
Without stopping.
