One has lived long enough <br />when the world ends, <br />the universe collapses <br />and time, itself, reverses... <br />so that the past is all he wakes to each day <br /> <br />and the future is what he missed out on <br />yesterday.<br /><br />John Tansey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-the-universe-collapses/
