Beauty speaks everywhere.
Up and down and afar alone
To the mass of grass
In such spread
No one needs to hide
Such splendor.

Simply

Simple thing and ordinary people
   most are humble and discreet
they don't have the rude, pompous
 false charm of the bourgeoisie...

out-of-the ordinary for the most part
Many were as decorative panels
for they were his best 'sells'

but egg shells lie in my yard.

utter impossibility
of no separation

Is silencing my years
Yesterday like today
Tomorrow like yesterday

By the bedside standing, half forgotten,
familiar shapes to soothe the eye.
Images to christen every morning,
a picture to watch me as sleeping I lie.

you never know 
when the record player strikes 
and vinyl floats and sums

pop stars melt down 
to ordinary people 
while female choir sings meekly

In Africa a guest is a guest
for days fewer than five fingers
third  day a hoe is given
fourth day Guest is ordinary
fifth day Guest loses the  title

Look for joy in ordinary places Hearts of gold and skies of blue Redeem your ticket for happiness To take a trip to dreams come true

Unfortunately

Each of ordinary people 
is a little rain-drop
that gathers together 
and creates huge humanity seas
However,
never are great majority  
aware of this

The Living Dead

While walking through a cemetery
Things were really quite ordinary
Until I finally saw
My "alive" mother-in-law
That's when it turned out to be quite scary

If the day comes
that I shall write no more
not aTo exist as ordinary.ble to canvas
visual fantasies of my soul.
On that day! I shall be ousted as an artist.
