When I was old
the three year old said
looking to his grandfather's
snow-white head
You mean said his mother
"when you will be old"
No said the child "When I was an
old man" high voiced bold
When I was an old man
I was like you
and now I'm here
this is true
They smiled the insolent
way that
grown-ups do
when small wise children
speak of unknown futures
lived already through
