ORDINARY DAYS: A Poem



Waking up and thinking
Oh no, another ordinary day
Then the extraordinary happens
Every pore begins to exude the specific
All air is purer and
All things become exquisite   

Waking up and thinking
Oh no, another ordinary day   

Then it happens and everything
Everything
Becomes agony
Every breath too heavy a labor
Every movement surely impossible to make
It goes on…Forever   

Then dreaming
Oh, just to have an ordinary day
