What I Hear in Your Eyes

Yes, there is a secret to the sky. Unlock it, and you will have nothing. You will be named God, which means: he obliged to live forever and for the needs of others. You will eat no divine jam, no virgin will sit at your left hand. You will have no son. Though it is true you will have more knowledge than when mortal, it will come at a price, as did the gift of fire. Better to stay where you are, then: in your body, on your knees, open wide.
