Extra

Appalled by the stunning mediocrity

of these daily verses, faced with the way 

they expose how banal Is my everyday life

(though I happen to enjoy my little life) —

and for those which do go deeper, 

sharing on Instagram and facebook 

is truthfully not easy but somewhat reluctant —

I almost decide to stop. Or do it less often?

But then I think, I could name it an Experiment,

removing value judgments, and see where that leads.

(Extra because it exceeds my daily quota.)

 

 

Note: When I posted this to facebook, it was very gratifying that many people said, 'No,please don't stop; we love them!' Some argued that they are not banal but show the importance of everyday experiences, and the beauty that can be found in them. Needless to say, I didn't stop!
