When I was young my teachers were the old.
I gave up fire for form till I was cold.
I quickened like a metal being cast.
I went to school to age to learn the past.
Now when I am old my teachers are the young.
What can't be molded [gets] cracked and sprung.
I strain at lessons fit [only for those who nurture].
I go to school to youth to learn the future.
