The last generation of children to identify <br />with adults long has passed, <br />and all their successors who are older than them defy <br />their elders as half-assed. <br />To reach them you have to go down to their level and, trusting, try <br />to be a child once more, <br />since when you grow old you will be just like one––don’t wait till you die. <br />but be one long before.<br /><br />gershon hepner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/last-generation/
