Life in retrograde.

Pavement between my toes,

Tires dressed in grains of sand,

Which way is the quickest savior?

When insanity is the truth of a backwards land?

and which direction to blue colored grass?

and that sky so vibrant in greens,

Which way to a life that never began,

in a mind of upside down dreams?

Who is to say that I've lost it all?

When traveling in reverse?

If you calculate the way of life,

Your sum remains an inverse.

I followed a path, a bumpy brick road,

I stumbled upon some strife,

But what better way to get over it all,

than leading a retrograde life?

Entangled in my locks of blue,

These eyes of sparkling red,

and which way to sanity you say?

ha! I think I'd rather be dead!
