Looking at life through a microscope
Searching for quarks, seeking rogue genes,
That place blue among normal pink flowers.
*
I sink under waves of mundane, drown
Beneath everyday seas;
So to observe what's above surfaces,
Raise up scanning periscopes
To focus on odd formed things.
*
Words of the vulgate, deer with white blotches
Poets with causes, the sky before dawn.

Tree rings telling of wet or dry summers,
Snow from cloudless skies falling-

winter thunder, and the beauty of women,
Their different shapes and colors;
What does it mean when they smile Mona Lisa?

Are just a few shapes of things
(Different than common)
That keep me from going insane.

Vulgate...to make common...[you made me go look!]

And the age'd speak
For that is the way it is
Fingers braided, lapped

Gray around her lips show tired
Still her wisdom's not all spilled

Ford, I really liked this one.  Not only was it captivating but I found much truth in it for myself (except for the women part, that is...lol).  Mona Lisa's smile....I would guess that it's meant to be mysterious intentionally....have heard that it is mystery that captures the mind (and heart) of a man.     ....jo

smiling at this
uncommonly beautiful awareness you have
of things that are different
and appreciating them
for being unique
