I Go back to May 1937

A poem of someone that still does not exist. Sharon Olds wrote of an unborn child trying to explain to his parents that their marriage would be a nightmare. First Sharon explains the setting of the poem, it starts in a "formal gate of their college" which means that they are about to graduate and also get  married. The main character which is their son is trying to tell them that what they are about to do is going to hurt children and they as well will suffer in ways they never heard of. He wants to change everything, make the lives of his parents go in different directions. But at the same time he doesn't because he knows that if he changes the future he will never come to be. " I want to live" be someone in life, and experience things that make you feel human.
