Passing Valentine

I pass for much younger than I am
I could pass for Chaucer’s clerk
look it up yourself or don't
once I passed for a royal jerk
I had to memorize lines
stolen from classical plays
to slip past my audience
it’s really easy to be no one
which is all anyone really is
or should want to be
having been someone
or having known someone
important famous privileged
how it weighs you down
I pass for a free spirit
I practice passing it on
