This is from a creative writing class exercise. It's probably my best poem.
Change is…

…the exhaustive recording, dividing and billing of all expenses
…the half hour walk which must precede a game on Dad’s computer
…the pressured growl on the phone representing a hug
…the elaborate censorship of all conversations
…the bartering of holidays
…the guilt that grows on an evening out
…the amended saying, “Home is where the clean underwear is”
…the awkwardness of learning to drive stick shift twice
…the budgeting of activity time to include the ride back
…the legitimacy of “I never see you anymore”
