When I Was a Kid...

How would I frame that?
When I thought things were optimistic and all things permissible
When I thought that I had the time to do all things,
When I thought that life was a circle with no end,

They don’t age, like those above them do,
They don’t die, like those above them do,
I wanted everything and everyone,
I wanted to be anything and do anything,
I wanted…. No, no.
