Looking back
speed is warped
looking forward
it slows
Each memory
a racehorse
that goes
and it goes
Intuition
the truant
in what it
will bring
When time
is reversed
and the Jester
— is King

Flip side of the coin ... Thanks TR.
THE RUBICON
I am amazed by the words and expressions some poets come up with on this site... Crossing the Rubicon is an expression meaning taking a bold decision.
“"Crossing the Rubicon" is an idiom that means taking a decisive, irrevocable step that commits someone to a specific course of action, essentially passing a point of no return.”
“The origin of the phrase:
• The phrase comes from Julius Caesar's crossing of the Rubicon river in 49 BCE.
--The Rubicon was the northern boundary of Italy, and Caesar's crossing of it with his army was a violation of Roman law and essentially declared war on the Roman Republic.
-- By crossing the Rubicon, Caesar made a decision that he could not go back from, leading to a civil war that would change the course of Roman history. ...”

Here the poet is stuck in the Rubicon. He is lost in it. Hope you get to the other side, fellow poet....
