Ordinary Insights — Back Is Often Best —Poesy
Back is often best
Oh you step out as if earth was your realm
and anything you did would be just right
There you are a captain at the helm
until you see results and quail in fright
+
Thought is often blest
You recognize that what you did at first
Imperfect, comfortable, and fallible
was better than what just turned out as worst
Conclusion, stepping-back is wonderful
+
Backtrack now confessed
Life would not be right without confession
Why even write if not to confess wrong
How else relinquish your possession
of something that might be worth passing on
