Zen and the Art of Changing Diapers

All life
is change
and nobody
knows it
better than you,
Babe, with your
mutable moods
and endless diapers,
teaching me
to let go
of desires
fixed by clocks
and deals
and move in time
to your smiles
and squalls,
your need for food
and drink
while
my strong arms hold
your delicate shape
against my heart.
