Goose On the Loose, Chased

What flips, then flops
What comes in, goes astray
Control is ephemeral
Stability is fraught
For tethers taught
Cannot keep on hold
The obsessive need for change.

You can't stop progress!
Moving on is long gone 
Perhaps you missed the train?
See what you missed 
With head turned back,
A gaggle of opportunities
Wobbled on by,
Goose on the loose, chased.
