Faceturn

Rare is the change considered good at first
And rarer still the wholescale alteration;
That which is new is always thought the worst,
Though status quos may not produce elation.
Good change is rare, and of a short duration,
For what is good the mind will seize and hold,
Reworking norms, so that the new sensation
Is once again the status quo. A bold
And heated change can thereby turn quite cold
In but a moment, as the mind reacts,
Recasting what was once a broken mold
Into a solid form clean of its cracks.
And so we readjust our world, pretend
The present is unchanging, without end.
