Lost Generation – Reversible Poem

This is an interesting concept, a reversible poem which is animated and spoken word read over it.  Not bad poem though I think it is a tad on the cheesy side.  It would be an interesting poetic exercise to do as it is a very specific form of parataxis, just like my Plum Flowers poem only the whole poem is reversible-linear rather then all of the lines being interchangeable.  The fact that it is written for the AARP is well…eeeh whatever.  Perhaps I would like the poem better if I knew it was not written to win money.  Either way the poem “works.”
