Intaglio

time is a mirror
made of two-way glass,
we try to see the future
while gazing at the past,
the past is a mirror
where we look
at things gone by,
the future is a cloud
that hides
the reasons why,
the puzzle of the future
is the pieces of today,
the pieces
are the yesterdays
of a game we always play,
the game is called
"behavior" and the rules
remain the same, . . .
everyone is looking
for someone else
to blame.
