a dog pees on a tree,
so what, that’s average.
a baby has spaghetti
around its mouth,
pfft, that’s basic.
a woman living below you
beats on the ceiling with
a broomstick and tells
you to “keep it down!”
big deal, that’s common.
pulling your member
out of your pants and
stroking it violently
with excitement,
hey, that’s just everyday living.
but, seeing you sitting there
on that park bench,
one leg crossed over the other,
with your dog
and your book
and your sunglasses
while tears of joy stream
down your face
after something you
just read
well now…
you
don’t
see
that
everyday.
