The Time Has Come

There must be time
When like Jacob
I pluck your eye from your socket
And place it inside of mine
Pluck my eye from my socket
And place it inside of yours
So- 
I look at you with your eye
you look at me with my eye
Then
You will watch your tongue
Before you spit your words
Even after I return your eye
And take mine
To both our sunken sockets.
