Selecting the Ordinary

Selecting the Ordinary

When de-puffing serum burns

I remember

bowerbirds decorate for potential mates, tunnel avenues decorated with patterned bones

sandhill cranes preen feathers with mud, turning fertile bodies summer brown

I soothe my eyes with frozen tea bags

looper caterpillars ornament their bodies, blossoms guarding a feast

Cyclosa spiders decorate their webs with remains, decoys wasps strike instead

I cover my face with tinted moisturizer

Camouflage depends on type.
