Some things change
Saturday 1st August 2020
Some things change. Bad stuff happens.
We cannot go to see any shows anymore
Because the theatres are all closed.
But we can watch shows that are streamed online.
As we wait for better times.
Bad stuff happens. Even while we wait for better times.
We can watch shows that are streamed online,
But we cannot go to see any shows anymore
Because the theatres are all closed.
Still, some things change.
Because the theatres are all closed,
And we cannot go to see any shows anymore,
We have to watch shows that are streamed online.
So we wait for better times, knowing that some things change.
And bad stuff doesn’t happen all the time.
(With thanks to Bertolt Brecht’s “Alles wandelt sich” and Cicely Herbert’s “Everything Changes”)
