Looking Over My Shoulder

by Joe Cramer

So, I keep constantly looking over my shoulder

Wondering why I make all these choices

That I have continually, inconsistently made.

I know that I should be looking forward

To all that lies ahead of me, when instead

I still find myself always looking in the rear-view

Mirror that is the weary road I have traveled on.

These choices make me smile, make me grimace,

Force me to constantly repeat the mistakes of my past.

I wonder how much long it will last...

Ah--"continually, inconsistently" (I love that)a fine expression--that shows an openness to new possibilities. Ponder on and write away into the future. You'll be taking new roads into unknown timelessness.
