Looking Back, Falling Forward.

Poetry Palace Week 56 Perfect Poet Award

.

I want to write, but how do I start?

The guy in the back says: ‘’Go!’’

When I hit on the gas the whole engine halts;

so maybe I should have gone slow.

.

Restart

Restart

Come-on start over.

.

There’s a flaw in the flow somewhere.

I stand in the way of a great forward motion

(the guy in the back doesn’t care.)

.

Perhaps what I need is something new fangle,

but all of the new stuff, I don’t like.

The guy in the back, right now I could strangle!

when he says:

‘You know, you might like a bike.’

.

It’s the view from the back I should like to distangle,

for I’ve always hated Hindsight.
