Mediocrity


today i release mediocrity
send it on its way
from the palm of my hand
with a poof of breath
and off it goes

hurdling through the yawn of space
like an untethered planet
 off to land on the head
of some poor unsuspecting soul
ready to burrow in
and set up camp

tampering with hopes and dreams
and the best-laid plans
squishing them down
and crushing them flat
like ants
under a well-placed heel


its echo remains
now a forlorn whisper
etched upon my veins
and lurking
in the rusted shadows

beware….
stay awake!!
(life was not meant to be a mediocre experience....)
