Ordinary
When the wall came down
there was nothing ordinary
anymore.
We glimpsed the trappings of The West
denied to us -
luxuries manifested,
from the dust.
All of us encrypted
words in stone.
One by one
they fell;
graffiti
of the oppressed.
Yet
our eyes
glittered
with the dust.
We saw a man
carry a fragment
home;
it was a History book,
a tome,
of an ordinary man,
and a bargain
with his soul.
