Use this single word to inspire a poem.

Backwards

If you suppose I always go Up the river heave and ho Against the current, up the flow, Backwards I used to know just what to do And what was what, and who was who, That was before I came unglued, Backwards You thought that I was just a child And yet a look, and yet a smile Left alone to weep and while Backwards You left me there and went ahead Left me unshod left me undead My little heart all full of dread Backwards And I suppose that’s where I’ll stay The who I was all locked away Looking forward to yesterday, Backwards
