Pockets of Change

We cannot drill through
or cover oily messes
with a sun patch
or ocean
or wind
or blood.

I hear pockets of change
in diners
in pulses
in voices
within.

Promises and impulses
are pooling resources
from pouring hearts
and washing minds.

Time is our tricky friend
telling secrets of hope
today
and denying
tomorrow.

i sincerely enjoyed reading this great poem, as well as your way with words.
this poem speaks politics and greed, metaphorically capturing,
the intentions roll of the page with truths in perspectives. Great work.

I really enjoy this poem, my favourite part was,
"We cannot drill through
or cover oily messes
with a sun patch
or ocean
or wind
or blood."

The concept of "change" on several levels is very clever, as is the use of "pooling", "pouring" and 'washing" in the third stanza-- all suggesting water, yet none of them actually used in that context. Very tightly constructed, equally briskly paced. Nicely conceived and well-executed piece of writing.
