Olleh!!
I could not see the face; just the mind and body running free.
When I shouted to the person, I realised that it was me!
I met myself coming backwards, trying to write this poem;
I was going round in circles, until I found my effigy!
Notes by the author
"I met myself coming backwards", is a saying I have used many times in busy periods. When used, it instantly conveys the feeling we all know, without comprehensive analysis of the words used. And then one day you think about the words and wonder who first said them and why they used those particular words in that particular sequence.
