I met a man walking backwards,
head to toe in high viz.
He was happy to ask for directions
and overtook the crowd with ease.
I met a man walking backwards,
telling me what was to come.
'Keep both eyes on the past,' he said,
'for the future is just re-runs.'
My daughter told me of a local man who walks everywhere backwards. When she told me that hed asked for directions I just cracked up. I haven't laughed that much in a while.
