Too Late

'tis never changing and ever changing
but rarely the way one supposes
analogous to and subject to
boiling frogs and camel's noses

the thinnest wedge or razor's edge
dominoes or foot in the door
by whatever terms the seed or germ's
relentless in it's score

it never parks, leaves few marks
until it's last distinction
'tis then too late to abrogate
the coming of extinction
