Not only….but also

Normal: not only healthy, whole and right, but also typical, average, commonplace.

Not only:
Apple blossom,
The smell of rain on dry earth,
Bees, among the flowers.

I am writing poetry again.

In the town where I live
The homeless have been housed
In a four-star hotel.

But also:
Commuter trains,
Cars, streaming, streaming, 
With somewhere to be, now.
Bundles of blankets in doorways
With nowhere to be.

Not only now, but also before.

We balance
Between them.
 

Anon.
