The wind blows through the tunnel
Trying to find the sky.
Jane is breathing her hardest,
And John begins to sigh:
'I'm a Princeton professor
God knows what drove me to this.
I have a wife and family;
I've known marital bliss.
'But things were turning humdrum,
And I felt I was being false.
Every night in our bedroom
I wished I were someplace else."
What is the weather outside?
What is the weather within
That drives these two to excess
And into the arms of sin?
They are the children of Eros.
They move, but not too fast.
They want to extend their pleasure,
This is the foolish but understandable blaming of non-metaphysical changes in outside forces (i.e., the weather) for the obvious metaphysical reasons why he has sinned.
