A
CHILD, ONE DAY OLD
You
are a peaceable soul. Your moments are
gentle.
You can patiently wait
for
the time when the faces come into focus.
You
will re-play the lollopy wallpaper creatures
until
you might wish them away. Later
on
you
will use them to make music or a proof
a
theory’s wrong, yet will show no conceit.
You
will be strong, a gentle giant, adept
on
the field, good at contact, going along
with
the jovial script of the team yet distanced
from
too much enthusiasm. A storyteller
and
popular at parties. You will have passions.
You
will speak many tongues and be useful.
