second guessing
double checking
backtracking weed whacking
you’re in the weeds
the crow knows cuz crows know
play it by ear
you can't
get there
from here
poor night vision
leaves huge spaces
open to interpretation
fill it all in with details
drawn from the archives
however outdated & incompatible
just a dusty old
file box filled
with VHS tapes
you’d like to think it’s a false flat
a slow decline an incremental regression
imperceptible deterioration
normal wear & tear
you know
just riding along
but it hits in spits and starts
jumpy jumps whacky whacks
an aching lower back
your karmic credit card
has gone to collections
now the big payback
I don’t know the answer
but I do know
it’s not a leaf blower
