Life On The Median


There comes a time
in every life
we achieve the tranquility
found in that moment
of pure epiphany 

When we finally
accept the reality
that we'll never be
a famous celebrity

No autograph hounds

No quote seeking
media dogs
or obsessed
groupie sycophants

Not even
a cheesy TV
teary eyed retrospective
when we die 

Welcome to the hum drum majority

Where happiness is acceptance
that success is measured
in sustained survival

Being that steady
spinning little cog

Existing contently
on the median of ordinary

Snug in the cloak of anonymity
we were born into
