Rearview Mirror
In the rearview mirror you can see the old
It is sometimes clearer
than events foretold
In the rearview mirror you can see behind
It is sometimes clearer
than a frontal kind
In the rearview mirror you can see the cue
It is sometimes clearer
than anything new
In the rearview mirror you can see the set
It is sometimes clearer
than a covered bet
In the rearview mirror you can see assault
It is sometimes clearer
than upshot penult
In the rearview mirror you can see the past
It is sometimes clearer
than a fine forecast
