odlična očuvanost

`When I`m Younger` (Kad budem mlađi) is a celebrated poem and a subsequent collection of poems by the prominent Serbian poet and academic Matija Bećković.
The central theme of the work is a paradoxical reflection on life, where the speaker constantly fantasizes about what will happen `when the time that cannot come – comes`. Each poem in the series often begins with this titular line, exploring the human obsession with a future state of being that remains perpetually out of reach.

Key aspects:

Literary Form: While known as a poem, it`s generally presented as a series or collection where the refrain anchors the variations on the theme of confronting life and time.
Theatrical Adaptation: The work, alongside two other poems (A Fella Told Me and We`ll Talk Again), was adapted into a highly successful monodrama (a play for one actor) performed by Petar Božović.
