cordially bowed on the concert hall stoop.
Greeting the doorman, quite gaily
who nodded back, though more grayly.
And nobody dared to complain or bemoan
that fools were ruling the cobblestone
streets, where urchins peddled faux-wares
beneath...

Many people like poems written with ordinary words. 
Some that jestfully tell about life in ordinary ways,

I met a Czech now living in Quebec
Very handsome in crisp turtleneck

But richer still; is simplicity of bliss
It brings, when it is handed from the heart
This love, the universe does deem as true art.

The language of...

The cloudless sky scarred with contrails
Like cicatrices on a slaves
Backside from numerous lashings.
Back and forth, this way and that way
Flying bombs travel overhead
Leaving in their wake, pollutants
In the form of anomalies:
Man-made, miasmal cirrus clouds.
Experts maintain...

  Raised to fear the lord and say "Mam".
  Grew up modest but never in need of nuthin'.
