To an Ingenue, Who Still Has a Full Hand of Cards

I see myself in you:
Your slow smile, your aesthetic eye, your humor,
Your preference for substance, your hatred of rumor.

I see myself in you:
The quality of energy bursting out
Is like me after conquering some of my doubt
(But before my close encounter with burnout).

I see myself in you,
and I hope that you find better things to do
With the time and the talents given to you.
