This Daily Poetry, .. Or Is It Really? Poem by RIC BASTASA

it has become just
like everyday: dusting of
furniture,
washing the plates
cleaning the car

or cutting a daisy
putting it on a vase
on the table

or opening a window
to let light in

or untying the drapes
to create a privacy

or mopping the floor
putting perfume on the room

we do it everyday sometimes
quickly like turning off
a faucet

or killing a fly or
releasing a dragonfly

or just spitting it out
or defecating, a form of release

our poetry.
