| Why walk when you can fly? |
When you find your spot and hit
your stride, regardless of how
hard you tried to be on time and
didn't quite succeed, yet neatly
(tardily, it must be said, although
not out of step) slipped into your
appointed place as if you were
the missing tuba player in a
marching band, but landed with a
grin and saucy bow, finessing
now, extemporaneously starring
in an unpremeditated bit, and
everyone applauded, just
assuming it was part and parcel of
the entertainment—then you've
made a work of art out of a
chance anomaly, and life is
elevated from the ordinary: It's a
symphony, a dance, a comedy...
perhaps it's poetry...
