Change

“Twice, no one can enter
The very same river”
Two point five millenniums ago
Buddha, succinctly, said so
Which has been too true
More than any other truth

Change, for me, not
From dog to horse
Neither from that simple
Travois to mighty truck
Nor from carrying that spear
To take up an AK

But sure change is my worth
From considering my breed
More important than the other
Is that little, I left behind
I’ve begun to think, for sure
With my big learning, I
Equal with that janitor so couth
