an ode to ordinary
by Quinn VokesI thought today was an ordinary day
But it wasn't
When I heard the news
I didn't cry
Because I didn't know you
Like they knew you
I didn't even really know
What you looked like
I thought today was an ordinary day
But whispers were heard down the hall
Tears of anguish and confusion
Could be seen on their faces
And I just kept on walking
Ignoring the fear I saw in their eyes
I thought today was an ordinary day
What a fucking ordinary day it was
I'm sorry I didn't take the time
To reflect
But I didn't have anything to reflect upon
I could kill myself
Because I considered today
An ordinary day 10/19/2002 Author's Note: this was written about a fellow student who died last year. it was actually the poem that started my whole fiasco with writing all my thoughts down and turning them into poetry. so for that, i thank him.
