Amazing wordplay..
eyes within eyes
blessed and cursed
with two clarities
seeing what is
seeing what is to be
helpless witness
precognitive annalist
doomed to record
unchangeable future
as if it is past
forced to feed
today’s mind
here and now
on bread
yet to be baked
by the hands
of tomorrow
ensuring a slow
painful watch
on emergent
starvation
a foreshortened life
understood since
the day it was born
