Poem: Dreaming of Change Unchanging

We always use the word changes
to describe life as it moves as it does
in reality it just rearranges
to something new from what it was
we’re trying to hold on because
we cannot adapt as we should
getting ourselves stuck as we doze
dreaming of what we would do if we could
