Any Change Is a Good Change

It’s a hard, hard thing to conceal When you live in fear of ‘the real’ A terrible thing is to feel When you’re a wheel within a wheel I look in your bright blue eyes For a moment, I’m tantalized The pupil darts back into grey Well what is the shade of today Under the same old sun The Same meaning for everyone But there was a time when it wasn’t The center of everything When there were circles up in Heaven, We were frozen by them forever Depart from the insidious “Never” Control our own flow together or just vermin underneath weather Let me taste of this world Its sweet delights, I must unfurl Tantalus of Twenty-nineteen Break this clockwork machine Back in the Middle Ages, The days were unbreakable cages An eternity of rigid ruin Stone walls and unthinkable doom Thanks for these changes, Heraclitus Thanks for bestowing a window inside us
