Catch the Horse

We think.

We think we like the status quo,

the way it is seems fine.

The effort to change

seems large from the start.

That first step out the door

or off the couch,

out of bed.

Don't change anything.

I like it just the way it is.

Sometimes I'd like to have nothing change,

but it seems that everything 

is in a state of flux

right now.

All change!

and when we come back tomorrow 

the mysterious 'they' have changed it again,

or made a new one

(my parents iron (a wedding gift) went for 40 years).

We seem to have to replace ours every two years.

No! Wait, that book "I wish that I had Duck Feet"!

If I wanted no change

what would happen then?

I'd have to get up earlier in the morning

and catch the horse...

and hitch it to the wagon...

and boil the porridge on the fire...

"The only constant is change".

 Heraclitus of Ephesus, a Greek philosopher (c.535 BC - 475 BC)

said something similar 2500 years ago.
