Looking up from the ditch
where I came to rest
I think to myself...

Hmm... Perhaps I should have gone left

Drowning my sorrows
in a pint of chocolate fudge
I think to myself...

Man... Should have seen that one coming  

Wiping off the egg
that's running down my face
I think to myself...

Yeah... That could have gone better

Rubbing the knot on my head
from that same brick wall
I think to myself...

Umm... Maybe that really won't work

Tallying my victories
and cutting my losses
I think to myself...

Sooo...this is hindsight

A ribbon at a time..." - Emily Dickinson

Think you meant "losses," but this was nice.

Hindsight ... ahh, I totally dislike it, but I still haven't managed to plan out each and every life experience to consider that little detail.

Hindsight, maybe it leads to wisdom, who knows?

Eventually we come to understand and adjust. Cute way of putting it here, MorningStar.
