i grew too old for my age;
we aged to grow
and leap to the next stage.
but i wish i never knew what i knew,
because wisdom is poison.
i wish to be a lily like you.

xxii. oh, to be a lily
i grew too old for my age;
we aged to grow
and leap to the next stage.
but i wish i never knew what i knew,
because wisdom is poison.
i wish to be a lily like you.
