Fear of time consumes me
My fellows come and go
I house the obsolete
Whether to be thankful, 
I surely don’t know

One day, I fear, I’ll join them
Unable, again, to stand
I do not come in a size
I do not have a brand

I fear not for my appeal,
For I do not have a brain
I only have a seat
Who knows well how to entertain
Those lost and those weary
Those calm and those who feign

But the winds can kill the butterfly
The winds can cause pain
The winds can silence the sea
The winds cause all things strange

I fear not for myself
I fear only minor change
