Things I Can Change Poem by Eric Cockrell

Things I Can Change

Rating: 5.0


a lot of things i can change...
the coffee filter,
the trash bag, the razor
on the sink.
the sheets on the bed,
my pants, the book i'm reading.
the things i watch,
the things i say,
sometimes the things i feel.
the things i eat,
what i drink, what i smoke.
a lot of things i can change...
but not the hands on the clock,
or the knock on the door!

Great write! True! With a pinch of fun this poem I fee it showed us how we could change mostly anything in our life but time and made us wonder If death decide to knock at our door all those efforts, what could be for? what is there any use in fight?

I'd sometimes love to be able to change the hands on the clock and stop time for a while. A great poem.
