Change

we change
we change constantly
from the outside in
but mostly from the inside out
changes in chemical balances
cause a smile or, perhaps, a frown
the balance scale tips
and a sonnet is created
or hormone flows increase
and we dream of universes
or forever love.
electrical energy flows through neurons
and we plan to rearrange the furniture
we change the air in our lungs
we change our breathing rate
and we shed skin
like a reptile, but
in very small pieces
say, do you have change for a...
we seek peaceful change
but mostly that doesn't happen
but the only constant in the Universe is
change
and we can't change that
and nothing is fixed in place
orbits within orbits
universes within dimensions
strings vibrate
and particles disappear
as we watch them
and we change our mind
figuratively and literally
as we change clothes
we can't stop changing
we change constantly
we change
and we hope
the change is for the better
that is at least possible
in a universe of infinite possibilities.
