'in review'

‘In review’                                   timothy r gates, 12/31/2014

In review,

I have no purview,

Only a view.

Knowing,

This is seen

Through eyeglasses, well worn,

A stigmatism, and

An added bi-focal

(who knows how many years, now),

Though I prefer to call this

Vision,

Insight,

Hindsight,

Beauty beheld.

Between births and deaths,

Desired ends and undesired ones,

Predispositions found to be disposed –

I get it,

A review,

Has no purview,

Only a view,

An interpretation of what is thought to have been.

So, I observe.
