bicycle of time

bicycle of time

times have changed
sighingly they chorus

time is not static
the real change
is from within
(did rumi said it?)

some look ahead
and grow

others focus
on the rear view mirror
and are slapped
by the unforgiving time

in the bicycle of time
the rear wheels
must move in unison

when it does not
chaos gets its boost

(there is a 'tricycle' too
but on it another time ~t)
