Normality

Do you ever wish you could be another face in the crowd that fades from everyone’s memory blending in like brushstrokes on canvas catching no one’s attention or mention Just a mundane man among the many laughing a bit too loud in the pub upon hearing a bawdy joke you found funny Oiling a squeaky door hinge or repairing a kitchen drawer that sticks ticking those tasks off a long list of everything that needs to be fixed in the modest house you had to sacrifice and save so long to buy Flying anywhere exceedingly rare the cost of first class out of the question Never wondering if the woman you’re with truly loves you or merely the amount of currency in your bank account if she considered what hitching her horse to your name might do to further her fame Unfettered and free to simply converse with someone like me another nobody
