"...the same as me, we'll see things they'll never see"

how expensive youth becomes with this ageing.
so fleeting the feelings of being young once old.
the effort to capture a glimpse of that which came so easily -
it takes more than it is worth; this is change.

so sad we're tilted towards the bad this side of the galaxy,
they tell me andromeda has less dark matter. and burns brighter.

but i walk the streets like i'm on holiday
and carry caution, but no fear,
only on my own steps is there risk to falter.

And so i'm tired of the suffering - of the not always knowing.
so i think now, I'll know everything - and see how far it gets me.
