Factor in the fickleness of fortune
In calculating charts that can be read.
For though the numbers do not lie, the data
Trend towards unknown variables instead.
Yet one must dream, albeit with more caution.

There is no substitute for an equation.
When one's a certain age, there is less later.
One dreams more wisely as one looks ahead.
