Character Poems: the Chosen through Time
31. Satsuma Rentarou

He was the back-seat driver
driving
from his well-worn spot
in the shadows.

He saw quite a bit
from those shadows –
when the light
did not glare at covered eyes

But he missed a lot as well:
what it meant to be
on the front lines
of a well-worn world

But the time for walking there
had passed and paved the way
for those younger ones.
