Irreversible

Why is it, plans newly made
The ones that cost the most
Literally and figuratively
The ones that feel written
In stone, are also the ones
That almost immediately
Most require a change

Out of the blue, as they say
Comes notice of something so
Huge, there is no ignoring it
No putting it off to the side
No pretending it’s not going
To happen and that you don’t
Have to take part in it

And the original plan and
The new event are going to
Collide with such exactitude
That there will be no getting
Around it; there will be no
Way to post-pone either
Moment in time - they will
Occur no matter what you do
