Today’s word is “banalize” ... buh-nal-ahyz ... to render or make devoid of freshness or originality. (Dictionary.com)
Spin
Some days it seems right,
to ignore everything but the present moment ...
If you can do it,
your day will be most peaceful.
Keeping everyone else in line, however,
might be a problem as they race pell-mell
toward you with the latest news.
They may frown as you wave them away,
saddened by your disinterest.
They may protest, “but”, “but” ...
“This is really important!”
If you do listen for a moment you will find
they have banalized most every fact.
And that the most important news they
have has been going on for most of
human history.
So, don’t feel bad, hiding in your office or gazebo,
your garage or studio.
Be at peace. Pray. Meditate. Soothe your soul with
your writing, painting, reading, puzzle solving.

The world will still turn. You can watch it occasionally
from your window.
from your window.
