The Girl With The 3rd Eye

I woke that morning

In a daze

Something was off

The world just a maze

**********************************************************************

Difficult to get out of bed

I stumbled across the floor

Hitting my head

On the mirror

Hanging on the bathroom door

**********************************************************************

I looked to see my image

Sheer terror struck

What was in that wine?

Was it vintage?

I tried to duck

**********************************************************************

As it was not my face

In my reflection

But rather the back of my head

With all my hair

Over the section

**********************************************************************

I looked back at my mane

And pulled the strands

To see

Another eye looking

Back at me

*******************************************************************

I spun around to see my face

My nose, ears and two eyes

Where they should be

Yet a sense of doom

I could still see

The rest of the room

**********************************************************************

I spun around same as before

I pulled my hair back

“Shut the front door!”

As the third eye was there

Looking at me in fear

**********************************************************************

Voices in the next room

Family starting to awaken

I covered my extra vision

To not leave them shaken

**********************************************************************

I got ready for work

And tried to assert

That things would be okay

Sporting a hoodie

On a hot summer day

**********************************************************************

At my office

I sat in wonder

What did I do?

To now have more than two

*********************************************************************

Then I began to ponder

Could this be a gift?

Something that would uplift?

**********************************************************************

Out of the office

I strode!

Let down the hoodie

And watched my coworkers

Explode!

**********************************************************************

As I parted my hair

In the back

Colleagues behind me looked like

They would have

A heart attack

**********************************************************************

“Yes!” I proclaimed

To the stares all around

“I now have a third eye!

Forget The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

I can see you and you

And you behind me too!”

My 360 view

Was pretty cool

**********************************************************************

Except for the buzzing

What was that sound

I woke to turn around

**********************************************************************

Hitting the alarm

I felt my head

Just hair and nothing more

I began to frown

The Girl With The 3rd Eye

Was now in my folklore.
