What's Approaching Next In My Rear View Mirror

I've yet to approach

My designated four way stop

On my own behalf

What's been interceding my path

I've asked myself many times

After looking back

While gazing at

My side view mirror

Now steadily moving

Past scenery of the open road

A vague memory

Was explored

Like road fog

This type of exposure

Is hard to ignore

I'm interested to see

Once this fog clears

It will appear to be

As of now

What I'm looking for

Has remained a mystery

For a lot of years

Forever wondering 

Is this a real metaphor

Disguised as a reading follower

Arriving & Driving close enough

To see my inquisitive bumper sticker

Revealing a question of curiosity

To the onlooker

As an intrinsic preview

Towards anticipation & warning myself  for

What's Approaching Next In My Rear View Mirror

Very descriptive and on an interesting topic...I never in a million years would have thought to write about the rearview mirror!

[Dana Alsamsam]

while reading the full piece before returning back to read the italics i had this sense that there was a bigger image lying there in less words. i myself have encountered some turmoil with my four way crossroads. i enjoyed the italics poem much more than the full one! this reminded me of the books "crank" and "glass" where she uses forms similar to this many times through out the work. i think you would enjoy them very much as she does this form very very well!

Not an easy form to utilize, but you've done a great job with it...love the metaphor disguised as a reading follower :)

Cleverly crafted and interesting to read. Creative and enjoyable. Nice job.
