Quatrain of Going Backward

Going Backward - not my fantasy

When I was young, I always
believed many of my
fantasies would
indeed, come
true.

But as I grew older, I began
to realize, this in itself a
fantasy, that would
not come
do.

I never acquired the wealth I
prudently wanted, never
gained fame I
thought would
come,

My life has gone backward, I
now fantasize about
becoming a child so
I can suck on my
thumb.
