Periscope of Hindsight


Periscope of hindsight
Squint back through.
Squirm, sulk all you may
Stop to argue.

Millstone around the neck
Was your pick.
Swim, suspend or sink
You, your wounds, lick.

(Another post for 3WW. The prompts are Argue, Lick, Squint.)

Sheilagh Lee - I've always wondered, realization that the choice was good or bad in hindsight is a sad thing or not.
