POEM: Just A Smidgen

I am inspired

By things i see

In the corners

In the open

In the vast

Mundane 

Reality

I use the word inspired

Because it motivates

Or prompts me

To write

Words like this

The irony

The paradox

Is that i only borrow

A fraction of it

Not the whole

Just a smidgen

Of its full meaning

For how can one be inspired

By depressing things

Monotonous doings

Things we all know and hate

Tedious,

Bothersome

Routine

Yet strangely enough

For lack of a better word

I am inspired

Not the whole

Just a smidgen

Of its true meaning
