Iconic image of an average spirit
Mono Lisa had an ordinary life
Mundane to the point of boring
Living on a street in sewage
So famous her face
Yet such an ordinary average her life
A snapshot of the ordinary mundane
Making her image famous for all time
Yet even that will end in time
The sands in a clock stand dynamically
As it falls one strand at a time
The numbers in her eyes
Make her seem to cry
Asymmetrical equal
Married by sixteen
And dead by sixty two
A face of a common queen
The tragedy of the common ordinary mundane
In a monastery that lies empty
Every window gone
Still standing in an obscure little town
In a way ironical appealing
