POEM: “there’s no such thing as ordinary”

there’s no such thing as ordinary”

my hair serpentining 
in the wind
like an orgy of snakes
above Medusa’s sparking eyes

the smell of petrichor 
and manure--a perfume
born by storm clouds 
in a silver-etched sky

Neil Gaiman’s voice sketches
London Underground’s unknown
imagination roams roads other 
than the one i drive upon

blooming lilacs border
the shopping center sidewalk
saturate the air as shoppers
walk, watch their own feet

mesmerized by asphalt, shoe leather,
and inner monologues,
too few look up
	notice the blue 
peeking just above their heads
