You don’t want immortality
without permanent youth.
You don’t want permanent youth
without perpetual novelty.
If you stop being surprised
by the world,
being young will get
old. You will begin praying
for death, and nothing
will be able to console you.
So — be thoughtful
before you ask me
for the wishes.
I can do so much
and little more. I cannot
make you happy, really.
