A gift from my mother
this third eye of mine
it doesn’t always see clearly
though far from blind
she often knew
what was up
before I opened my mouth
brother and sister
have it too
that wise old mom
told us once
without touching it
she made a rocking chair rock

Shared my gift
with a girl I like
a long time ago
at first a combination
of love and hate
but that’s how
it gets started
and later how it grows
now she too
has a third eye
we talk over the Internet
without ever seeing the other
or saying a word
