No matter
how much you Rear View Mirror

The Windshield
Always looms larger
Even when sitting still
Idling 
Bringing into Focus
The New
Not a destination you go
but a Universe
You create
Only to
Make it a part of your
Rearview Mirror World
As you travel
On
Speed is never of the 
Essence

(Lose your Time Pieces)
Use your Wipers
If necessary

To only see Clearer
Gawk
Unblinkingly at what’s before you
With only an occasional quick glance
At what’s behind you

And
if  you  LOOK  at  all
Make sure it’s Forward
Always Forward
To looking Back

can never

you go forward
and no

is necessary traveling backwards

if it’s slow
or seemingly
m i n i s c u l e
each step taken ahead
is a most powerful
A D V A N C E
assuring
that memories are sacred
BUT THE MAKING OF MEMORIES
are even more hallowed
by their Pulses
that Rear View Mirror
