Traveler

I keep a note in my wallet. It tells me not to do certain things, bad things, a helpful hint from my past to future self. Even though in truth it is my future self sent to my future self, because my past had been my future once and he knew that future would be repeated. A time traveler, able to go back and forth within my own disappointing ways. Stunned to hear the news and never eager to heed it, as if I didn't k know what I was talking about. As if it wasn't a doomed history lesson. I have the answer key, I know exactly how this goes and exactly what I must do to pass with flying colors. But I can't, I won't, and damn that man for even trying, whoever he is, or was.
