I am
a piece of furniture,
perhaps an end table
(not a dining table),
Vases are set upon me.
Fine layers of dust accumulate.
Sometimes I'm cleaned,
but never thoroughly.
Just something there,
in some room,
ignored.
I am,
and that's about it.

I'm tired, and my daughter drained me today. I was thinking of a few little poems about mediocrity (though I've traveled these halls before) because mediocre people that I know are annoying the hell out of me. This needs much work.
Since your focussing on mediocrity I think you should take the idea you wrote in the comments and run with it. Have a character walking a hall and checking out the pictures on the wall of mediocre people. Something like "There's my uncle, he invented laziness."
