"Everyone's at a loss for ideas, and they don't have any context to work with." -Matt
Welcome to forever ago. You're new
Here, which means that sometime recently, you
Realized you weren't young anymore. You're old.
You're dispensing advice. The print is cold
On the antiquated lamb-skin parchment,
Calligraphied: name, degree, department.
You're telling someone fifteen years younger
That the trick is to relinquish hunger.
Gratitude's not bad. Gratitude is good.
Worrying is nothing anyone should
Spend gratitude on. Like Eve and Adam,
Garden behind them, whole world before them,
The matter at hand, the life-giving grace
Of the young remains, "where to choose their place."
