Some days are so ordinary they defy expression except as ‘humdrum’. And then some small thing, a bird, a sun beam, a phone call, turns the day on its head …
A PEDESTRIAN DAY
the world has turned a prosaic 
face to me this day
ordering routines into place
matters uninspired
to be dealt with
thoughts plod banal paths
while my hands perform
chores mundane
and poems chorus trite lines
I turn to watch birds
as they zoom across
outside my window
and wonder about
the language of chickadees
