Pause

Everything mutates
All the time,
No moment to stop
Or consider, constant
Change, adaptation,
Trying for the upper hand.

We are not the same
As yesterday, nor is
Today as memory tells
Us tomorrow will be.

No pause. Relentless
Progress, that overwhelming
Biological imperative
To grow into what
Can’t be defeated or
Bettered.

But it will, and
Our ashes nothing but
Stardust.
