Gone Tropos

So many years I questioned

And moved left.

Then one day,

23rd of September

In 1979 I'd say,

I turned right.

For years I kept turning right

Until one day,

23rd of March

1998 I'd say,

I learned I've been turning left

While going right.

I learned I've been going wrong.

I corrected my way

For the Way.

I turned right.

Now I'm not sure

If those lefts I left behind

Were actual lefts

Or were they rights, all along?

Were they the True Way:

Alithinós Trópos?

Had I gone trópos!?
