As If It Were Your Past

So for now, it just goes on.
Play a game. Dream you are old

And a young soul’s come to you
To get some wise words. Now think

Of which wise words you’d give them.
Have some fun with it. Waste time.

See the place you’d like to be
(Or right now think you would). See

Just the life to go with age.
Think of the sort of young soul

Who’s a bit of a fool, but
Would hang on your words like gold

Coins as they fall from your lips.
You are wise. You’ve done it right.

Be the best sage you can be.
Write it all down. Good. Do that.
