i have my future back;
long ago, i had it.
once.
once is once. only.

i hurriedly grab a dictionary,
look up the word: vicarious.

it's a form of using others.

and knowing i's good at that,
i put it to use. i'll feed
this afternoon: my grandson
will be the feast o' the day.

use him again tomorrow,
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.
and the next day.

and the next day.
