Everywhere
In this tiny world

Everywhere in the world,
a baby cries too loudly in a public place,
a glass of ice cold cola appears from nowhere,
a woman’s coral toenail polish chips off,
a middle aged salaryman offers his seat on a bus,
a sunbeam sneaks by branches, drawing rightful attention to something, someone,
a cracked mug is favourited, holding pride of place on a worn shelf,
a butterfly emerges, flies, and finally dies.
Everywhere in the world
someone sleeps soundly wrapped around their secret lover,
water trickles carelessly down the mountain,
a mother worries needlessly about the souls of her unborn children.
