A Toi


 I could not prove the Years had feet
Yet confident they run
Am I, from symptoms that are past
And Series that are done


I find my feet have further Goals
I smile upon the Aims
That felt so ample — Yesterday
Today's — have vaster claims


I do not doubt the self I was
Was competent to me
But something awkward in the fit
Proves that — outgrown — I see


Emily Dickinson
