It's a celebration of self,
An inner spirit and style,
expressed thru blazes of color.
Daring to be an original,

Horror yellows in vaults.
The commonplace
entertains the unspeakable.

We have photographed
every ghastly act.

Pundits endlessly debate
the proverbs
of ancient spiders....

Loss of innocence
Corruption is commonplace
Endemic racism
A judicial system 
That favours the rich
Lies are the new truth
How could it come to this?
Once I loved the USA...

A quake took place
between my shoulder blades
teeth ground to dust behind my face
the scraping of tectonic plates
scared me to my hiding place
bottles and blankets, a child’s space
it cannot withstand the shakes

the straight jacket
of convention
bring
random
    consolations,
so 
apposite:
the drawback
of the trivial,
underlined
by the inauthentic,
unruffled
by the marginal,
proxy-proof

distilled by the
sieve
of the commonplace...

     to outlive
the commonplace
     to exhaust

&
sincere
if
    distilled
becomes
a needless
scarcity
'til
swamped again
by
excess...

is the plateau
in as it appears to us
mundane and commonplace

look again, oh hermit
let us infuse in the void
our agendaless vibrancy

may undiminished remain the sparkle 
of our soul’s innate luminescence 
in a time stretched continuum

Lyrical in beauty
dug from the depths 
of the past.
A storyteller, articulate 
elegaic  writing words
to last.
Of farm life and childhood, 
deep in Irish  terra firma 
frozen in memory
and now 
released for our delight 
in  a succinctness of thought
of the commonplace...
