Times are changing, clocks are timing
People are finding the cheese that’s molding
Casting, controlling, capturing, unfolding
Women are cooking, countries are fighting
Neighbors are starving, children aren’t minding
Reading, writing, singing, chiming
Closets are closing, bankers are telling
Of smells that are reaching the greens we are smelling
Sighing, shifting, slouching, staring
Stars are shining
Earth’s pages are turning
The sun is still burning
The clouds are still raining
The bolts are still lightning
The winds are still blowing
Rivers are flowing, fireflies glowing
A seamstress is sewing, and shows are showing
Thinking, drinking, blinking, sinking
Writers are singing, singers are writing
Dreamers are dreaming, poets reciting
Replenishing, finishing, spiraling, calling
Practicing, praying, righting, and wronging
Living, loving
Facing, falling
Learning, turning
Stopping and stalling
