I’ve Seen You Before & You’ll Remember Without Touching – Darla Rae Barry Benson, Robb Benson

I am
on the
side of
your road
thumbs drawn
and blue
weighted eyes
pointed down
nowhere
to run
I have
this life
ten times
in my
head.

What am I?

Bioluminescent eye
That sees by the shine
Of its own light. Lies

Blind me. I am the seventh human sense
And my stepchild,
Consequence;

Scientists can't find me.

Januswise I make us men;
Glamour
Was my image then—

Remind me:

The awful fall up off all fours
From the forest
To the hours…

Tick, Tock: Divine me.
