Nondescript

Not epic nor disastrous, a life mediocre A trait that followed me down to the crypt Expressions neutral, a good face for poker Like everything about me, nondescript I'm sure I could be out committing crimes Who could describe my median brand But after years gone by and passing times I just wade in the plain and the bland To people I've met before, I say hello They seem confused, they don't remember Now they don't have to pretend they know I say nothing, and wait for December One more unremarkable year gone by Will a new year bring excitement or change Is there something new I should say, or try Odd how being ordinary feels so strange So while people look at me and draw a blank They can get up over the words they tripped I smile politely, wave them on, heart sank And be on my humdrum way, nondescript March 21, 2023 Writing Challenge, 'N' words Sponsor Constance La France
