The Way Things Are

June 08, 2004

Why do things change so much
Quickly in an instance 
Blinding us from any realization of difference 
Why is it we watch these things slowly change before us? 
And yet we have no understanding of how these things have become the way they are 
Why do we always look back and wonder what happened 
As though we never sat there and watched it all change before our very own eyes
