Unless one is of the few fortunate ones
active at the cutting edge of their area
in all fields of endeavor and creativity
most of us lead a more commonplace life.

Our daily tasks divided into routines many
of which follow schedules set by the clock
we abide, adjust our lives to follow these
look to the hours, days that we must not.

By and large we would like to break free
do and act as we would like independently
escape the worldly matters of the mundane
release our own internal drive our creativity.

Yet when we stop and think about it some
we escape the mundane in many ways by
being creative in what we do, how we play
we are really not ordinary in every way.
