What Came First?

Introduction

This is just a series of unstructured thoughts. I don't think it's a poem, but others might do.

What Came First?

⁉️❎🤫⁉️❎❓❎⁉️🤐❎⁉️

Is There Any Order To Anything?

Does The Clock Run Backwards?

Did The Words Come Before The Idea Or Vice Versa?

Then I Looked At The Rules, But A Real Man Never Reads The Instructions

And They Always Fuck Things Up And Blame Someone Else

⁉️❎❓❎⁉️

Because They Don't Follow The Order Of Things

And For This The Instructions Say:

• A poem (any style or structure is welcome)
• Between 100 and 800 words.

So What If I Hadn't Looked?

⁉️❎❓❎⁉️

And Submitted A Haiku, Sedoka Or Senryū (川柳)?

Would That Disqualify Me, Or Is My Name Enough To Do That?

Sometimes We Write The Last Line ANd The Work Towards That.

It Gives Us A Target.

But The Roof Is Start Where You Start To Build A house.

When You Run A Race, The Finish Line Is The First Thing On Your Mind, And The Last Thing You See In The Race.
