Mother of a universe in the eyes
of optimism
Five foot five, two feet coming
alive to a syncopate beat
nursery rhyme.
But would you know it?
Boring business as usual
and slight trite
everyday attire.
Buttoned up, bravely beige,
designed for backdrop
to the glamorous.
A linedancer balance act
on the sidewalk edge
where it doesn't matter
anyway, is Karin's little
secret.
Drawing flowers on page 418
in the phonebook
where everyone's name is Gray,
to brighten up their day
holistically.
Karin likes that word
It means that what I do matters
even if you can't measure it,
so you should damn well
treasure it.
Because Karin knows
that when a child smiles,
and someone notice,
a fading ripple
domino chain reaction
will make us all glow,
if only the tiniest fraction.

annaswirlsalmost 20 years agoI love this image of coloring in the Grays there are days I could use a little Karin around here, but I suppose it is all of our jobs to put some more Karin where we stand and go...
