Observations

I’m an ordinary girl in an extraordinary world,
watching ordinary scenes,
imagining ordinary dreams.

People go about their ordinary ways in their ordinary days,
experiencing ordinary joy
and suffering ordinary pain.

We eat our ordinary food and watch the ordinary news.
We drive our ordinary cars,
Leaders fight their ordinary wars.

You wear your ordinary clothes and play your ordinary games,
work your ordinary job
and clean your ordinary floors.

Ordinary women give birth to ordinary babies
and ordinary parents soothe their children with ordinary fables.
Ordinary people are dying in ordinary beds,
while other ordinary people are surviving the ordinary odds.

Ordinary people toil the ordinary earth,
while ordinary philosophers wonder what its all worth.

Ordinary miracles happen every ordinary day,
in this extraordinary world
with its ordinary ways.
