Within An Average Day
I step through pages
of history's incredible contortions
played out with words...
Chapters organized
by politics.
Each paragraph peppered
with names of effective men
changing the course
of culture.
Warriors.
Conquest and ruin.
And time is translated
into campaigns-
remembered for what we have now
in our everyday lives.
The taste of a spice.
The pattern of a carpet.
The scent of a perfume.
The rhythms, the textures,
the rituals and revolutions
within an average day.
Reflect Winter 2002 ( vol. 22, no 1)
