You Stubborn Bastard

Thing change?

Of course they do.

Even things in your presence

not observed by you.

and changing THINGS

change you too.

You nod your head,

of course it's true.

 

An event is bent

and shaped by the EYE.

but the EYE can't see that

to which it is blind.

And much of US

is left behind.

Tick marks and shadows

the cruel and the kind.

 

In change we are changing

the change we define.

Do you see the change

in the EYE of your mind?

 

Do I change? Yes I do,

he says, but the change that I see.

Is always the same change inside me.

Sometimes I wonder if I come

Sometimes I wonder if I come across as (monkey) clever.

Change

.

A bird molts leaving behind

little bits of itself as if to stay

the same would be an affront

to nature or God.

.

Babies grow teeth then shed them

to demonstrate the evidence

of changing status from sucking

to chewing. There's a plan.

.

Change for the sake of change

has value if the eye is atuned

to see a twisted view, but change

as a vehicle for renewal

and growth, well, owns its own

need to amaze and obscure,

twist and befuddle.
