Change of the outsider,
the newcomer, the professor
change of the insider, the old hand
change of the advocate, the counsel
change of the zealot, the true believer
change of the bureaucrat, the diplomat
These are the choices,
one way to identify at least
the choices tomorrow
the way to see the candidates
crystallizing the choices
Who can make the changes
we crave
Entrenched interests wait
our decision
locked inside the Beltway
