Changes

Changes

Just read the changes
it's not that hard

I am told across the room

changes upon changes upon
mouthfuls of consonants and vowels
unable to form sentences or phrases

red clown face hard to
breath

it's not that hard

I hear as I scan around the room

changes upon changes upon
opportunities lost from losing
harmony

I gulp up some air
I read the changes
I bebop across it all
scales up and down and around
and backwards

nothing can mumble
out the changes
I hear in life.

My sketch of Sarah Vaughan

Inspired by Sarah Vaughan singing, "You've Changed".
