Time always moves on

We are not ready for it

But we change with it


Author’s Note: Well folks, after many interruptions, here we are, day forty on my path down the fifty-day song/lyric-inspired senryū challenge. I know it’s taking me longer than it should have due to work and personal issues, but I’m determined to post a total of fifty of these poems, no matter how long it actually takes me, so I appreciate my readers bearing with me. Today’s poem is inspired by “1985” by Bowling for Soup, which you can listen to below.
