“I ordain that it be slippery for 100 years,” he said.
And then I woke up from the dream.
For a long time, I mourned
Over this decree.
But now, I see
That it is a relief to know
That it will roll out in waves.
So that, I can notice my progress and say
Not bad for the first five years. Let’s see
If I can hold on to the new life
For a little longer next time.
And all of it so that
My children’s children’s children
May enter in to go not out forever.
