Used to hear the coinage "age of change"
reminds me of the words "new generation"
it sounds almost like an oxymoron
change has no debut, no end
the body constantly changes
as I compose this note...
and generations are at any instant
but we like to have references
and refer to those raised
after the war as baby boomers
but wars are constantly fought....

My life is irrelevant on the grand scale
but who is to say there is no reason
for the futility of my efforts
for me to perform my daily tasks
today done at remarkable speeds
compared to what workers
spent years ago
before their lives were spent
at such a remarkable speed
transport carries a whole new sense
people carried in large groups
transformed into larger social units
rural householders transformed..
into city dwellers
horse and cart changed to quicker modes
for a new generation to be there
at any instant....
