Who in their right mind
would choose
mediocrity
for their every day?
Living to some social scientist’s
norm curve
ideal
rocking no boats
If we’re truly all average
no-one at all
hurts
too badly
Nobody suffers endless grief
from cancerous
cells
growing awry
None to experience the joy
of love and breath
given
free of heart
Everybody earning an average wage
nobody poor
absence
of wealth
And of course it’s absurd
this statistical
reduction
to mean
Who in their right mind
would choose
mediocrity
for their every day?

Such lucky collisions
brought you
here
and no-one
absolutely no-one on Earth
is like
you
You stand
alone in your glorious
technicolor
specialty
breathing a breath
no-one can mimic
your potential, possibility
desire
Live full
of what you’re made to be
Not someone else’s
ideal
Being you
Every you under the sun
averaging out
to
one whole
Let them plot the curve
you a point
time
and space
Let them
choose
mediocrity
for their every day
