I think this beautiful poem full of regret and we can all relate to his
feelings of frustration as we grow older and life becomes more and more
tiring.

This poem is about how Shel (or another character) once had the imagination
of a child. Now that he's older, though, he's asking himself, "How did it
go?"

I think this is a really cool poem about nature and made a great intro for
Bassnectar's Beatfreak Bohemia album.
