Our Lives Are Full of the Ordinary:

morning breath
crumbs in the toaster oven


the dishes
apple peels and eggshells
lint in the dryer
sweeping the floors
fingernail clippings
holes in socks
small cuts in dry hands
turning up the music
turning up the thermostat

making the bed
the smell of coins and paper money
dry lips
dust in the sunlight
crunching snow
dirty snow
the smell of library books
wet towels
cleaning out the drain
morning stars
paying bills
bad meals


the moon coming around the house at night
