Hard to appreciate the mundane
Until routine is forced to cease.
The rupture shows its value; a frame
on which to hang our joys. A release
in the form of unthinking conformity
To the learned habits of a lifetime.
When this scaffolding fails and falls –
Time reveals its endless enormity
and the narrowness of our design.
