New Year's Evolution

______________________

He who thinks

in years

wears the rusty

chains of time.

She who obsesses

over decisions

dies in the cradle

of the present.

Tomorrow wears rags,

makes promises

she cannot keep,

waxes politically

singing,

Change!

Change! Change!

while only delivering

nature's classic refrain:

There is nothing new

under the sun.
