Glass Mirror Views
Foresight taught, ahead we optimistically move
years go by that teaching reverses, you must use
character and will, the power to improve
something sought after, edging out a groove
and your focus slips into a brief interlude
daydreaming safety net walking too smooth
don't calculate too much, same timing lose
easy in, easy out, memory recall is on cruise
wound up, grace under pressure, do not confuse
testing times, finishing lines, too many words to
choose
interesting lives, engine that drives, hope your
amused
buzzing sunrise near sleeping head button snooze
first, second, third timing clock, you refuse
dragging side effects, thoughts to collect and infuse
self respecting guidelines, clues don't abuse
words to be spoken, codes to be broken, cues
last in, first out the door, of happiness blues
abstract understatement, understandingly colored
hues
tomorrows papers, privately yesterdays news
clearly, looking through glass mirror views
