Survival I

A new myth has arrived
same same, but different.
We all carry on our lives
without so much as a thought
about the time passing by.
And for the better, I think,
not to be paralyzed
by that which we cannot control.
Still, to ignore is to risk ignorance;
to be ignorant is to sacrifice
any control one might have had.
Acknowledging the changing days
is, perhaps, a better way.
Noticing days pass into weeks,
weeks pass into months,
months pass into years,
and beyond – so it goes.
Same same, but different;
though not only the seasons change.
