people’s jackets are changing;

the midnight whirr of trains is changing;

the meaning of love you is changing;

the feel of an empty house is changing;

the reason behind it all is changing;

my missed calls are changing;

my eyes & body are changing;

what wakes me up is changing;

what makes me think twice is changing;

the ground i’m standing on,

is changing.

still uncomfortable,

still unexpected,

still evermore.

i sit back in my skin

& watch it all unfold,

squirming,

happy
