Ordinary Life.
A grazing mule and a sociable donkey make
for an ordinary day, walk to the café gossip
about the lady who runs the pharmacy, her
new lover is the doctor, which makes sense,
and the baker is rumoured to be gay, where
else can you find such an ordinary day.
If I lived a busy life, saw all the worlds
wonders, lakes, oceans and big mountains,
flitted between Taj Mahal and Louvre, in
one day, just to see how great mankind can
be, I wouldn’t had time to see how strange
and fascinating ordinary life can be.
