YOUNG MAN

YOUNG MAN

My name is Young Man
Sometimes ago I was smaller
Now, I am stout
If you wish, you may spell out the differences
I can't see my own heart
But I can and will read it
Are you one of those
That call me Nothing
While I am Young Man
I've seen and I'm seeing
Even you have not and cannot see everything
Grossly,
Tell me your superiority over me
The something that you bear
Was nothing and no more Young Man
I won't say I'm better anyway

Yes, this is stout Young Man
Hello Mr Old Man
You know what I don't
Really yes and maybe true
When my name changes too
What if I saw a wider gamut
I listen to you Old Man
But tell me the rules
You never even got to it
Whatever we fill the box with
You and I ain't taking a step beyond terminal
Strength and weakness
Beginning and end
All must phenomena
In the story and all through
To a boundary that no one shall ever transgress

Am I even human
No, I am Young Man
And what is Young Man
Indefinite potential
Infinite prowess
The universe
And all of space is not enough
Only time is the boundary
It will never die
