Mediocrity redeemed

As necessity siphons good habits
and in pain God screams,
patience waits behind lumber trucks
serenading songs about wooden deaths,
forgotten like coffeehouse table formulas for world peace;
penned in crayons, marked, yet
ripped, torn, and thrown in the dumpster out back.
Redeeming the mediocrity of life,
you, hardly seen, but experienced consistently.
