For Peggy

 

 

In an ordinary world, be extraordinary,

be anything but commonplace.

Deny the drab and dreary,

the routine and run-of-the mill.

Stay fresh and unpredictable

--the antidote to boring—

be decidedly unconventional.

Stoop to a child;  

share a stage with a Queen.

Recast the everyday,

upset the familiar,

change this average world

to a new place, a better place.

Bring it to life as you do

in so many ways..

 

In a prosaic world, be a poem,

and amid this wealth of mediocre poets,

the ‘it will do’s and the ‘good-enough’s

you are, and will continue to be

a Shakespeare.
