Life In Reverse

(A Madrigal)

My journey’s ending where it first began,
a clownish act reversed in backward mode,
as brain cells scramble forth to read the code.  

Perhaps I need a comprehensive scan
before diminished cells embrace implode.
My journey’s ending where it first began,
a clownish act reversed in backward mode. 

I search to find a worthy rescue plan
my baby steps lead up and down the road
so often saddled with another’s load.
My journey’s ending where it first began, 
a clownish act reversed in backward mode,
as brain cells scramble forth to read the code.
