change prevails

is there such a thing as permanence?
i ask
myself
as i peruse the shelves
of the big store.

permanent ink.
permanent press.

is there a permanent record
that keeps
score of all our doings,
our mistakes,
our regrets.

having been around for awhile
i see no such
thing as permanence.

not in work, or love, status,
or health.

we live, we die.
all things do.

permanence is a myth,
in my mind,.

change prevails.
