Change

One glance out the window
is all it takes
to send me scurrying out,
a craving for the green and golden
of Autumn. I know it is better

out there, better
than the purple and blue within
the unpolished panorama put on
for players each day who do nothing
more than fold their hands

and look up expecting answers
or at the very least, a release
from daily woes. Out there
they are all the same
looking for better, easier lives.

In here they strive one against another
as if trampling is the foundation
for change.
