Before

More on change

Before we can change anything
First
We have to see it,
Listen to it: breathing;
Feel  its texture
Rough or smooth;
Smell it
Like a rose
Or a catbox
That needs cleaning;
Taste it
Like a cookie
Fresh from the oven
Or that vegetable
We hated as a child
And perhaps
We still do.

Before change
Comes the noticing
That something
Needs to change.
And then
Only then
Comes the how
